Año cero

About This Movie

"Año cero" gives a rather intimate glimpse into the life of Miguel, a man who seems to have it all until the rug is pulled from under him. The pacing feels slow at times, almost meditative, which really allows you to sit with his despair and confusion. The tone leans heavily into existential dread; it’s all about grappling with identity and purpose in a world that feels increasingly indifferent. Performances are subtle yet poignant, capturing that quiet desperation without melodrama. What stands out is the way the film uses practical effects to create a raw, unvarnished view of life’s disappointments. It’s not flashy but there’s a depth that resonates long after the credits roll.
