Loving Pia

About This Movie

Loving Pia is one of those films that really pulls you into its world. Set in the quiet of rural Denmark, it explores the tender yet complex relationship between Pia, an intellectually disabled woman, and her aging mother, Guittou. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the understated performances that are quite poignant. There's an authenticity to Pia's character that comes through, thanks in large part to the actress who embodies her. The film doesn’t shy away from frailty or vulnerability; instead, it leans into the emotional weight of their bond as Guittou’s health declines. You can sense the director's intent to create a space for empathy, which is something you don't see often in mainstream cinema these days.
