About This Movie

The pacing has this delicate ebb and flow, drawing you into her psyche, making each moment feel weighty. The performances are compelling, particularly Rebeca's, showcasing a blend of vulnerability and resilience. What stands out is the authenticity of the Roma experience, rarely depicted with such nuance, giving the film a distinctive edge.
