Ama

About This Movie

Ama is a raw and intimate exploration of motherhood against a backdrop of societal neglect. The film centers on Pepa and her daughter, who are evicted and left to navigate the harsh realities of homelessness. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing viewers to sit in the discomfort of their situation. The tone is heavy, with a pervasive sense of loss and struggle, yet there’s a glimmer of resilience. The performances are strikingly genuine, particularly the chemistry between the leads, which amplifies the emotional weight of their journey. The practical effects are minimal but effective, emphasizing the authenticity of their plight. It’s a distinctive take on the theme of maternity that lingers long after the credits roll.
