Light Years

About This Movie

Light Years has this raw, almost intimate vibe. You really feel the weight of family dynamics as Mateo, Belén, and María José navigate their tension-filled reunion. The pacing is deliberate, which lends itself well to the unfolding drama. It’s not just about the physical journey back to their childhood home but also the emotional roadblocks they face along the way. I found the performances to be quite compelling—there's a subtlety that grounds the characters, making their conflicts relatable. The atmosphere captures that bittersweet nostalgia, and the practical effects in the car scenes add a nice touch of realism. Overall, it’s a poignant exploration of sibling relationships and the complexities that come with them. Definitely a film that resonates.
