7 Virgins

About This Movie

7 Virgins is quite an interesting piece from Alberto Rodríguez. The film gives off this gritty vibe, really encapsulating the feel of a neighborhood in Sevilla. The pacing, especially in the two days leading up to the wedding, kind of creates this sense of urgency but also reflection. Tano, the young lead, is played with a mix of innocence and streetwise attitude that feels genuine. The film touches on themes of family, freedom, and the weight of choices, all while painting a vivid picture of his surroundings. The use of natural light adds to that raw atmosphere, making it feel almost documentary-like at times, which I found engaging. Not overly polished, but that’s part of its charm.
