About This Movie

Carajita dives into this deeply layered dynamic between Sara and her nanny Yarisa. It’s got this raw authenticity that feels almost documentary-like at times, capturing their bond that’s all layered with class tensions. The pacing can be reflective, allowing moments of silence to hang heavy, which really amplifies the emotional stakes when the accident happens. It's a film that leans heavily on performances—both actresses bring such realness that you forget you're watching a scripted narrative. The atmosphere is charged with a sense of precarious intimacy, and it explores themes of loyalty and separation in a way that feels both universal and deeply personal. There’s something about its realism that lingers with you long after the credits roll.
