Knives in the Sky

About This Movie

Knives in the Sky is a raw exploration of trauma and reconnection, with a heavy focus on Milagros’s struggle to reclaim her life after a decade behind bars. The atmosphere is tense, almost claustrophobic, especially during her initial re-encounters. It’s not the most polished film; the pacing can be a bit uneven, but it adds to the unsettling realism. The performances, especially from the actress playing Milagros, are haunting. There's this painful authenticity in their reunion scene that sticks with you. The themes of motherhood, loss, and resilience are woven together with a certain starkness that feels very real. It’s definitely a unique piece that doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths.
