The cast is appealingly natural, the cinematography subtly seductive, and the Colombian pop songs on the soundtrack establish a sinuous groove.

Despite those drier sections, the entire movie rests on the shoulders of Laura Tobón Ochoa. She often shows nervousness and eagerness in one expression. If there’s a single reason to see Days of the Whale, it’s for her performance.

Days of the Whale is nimble and breezy, light on plot yet never insubstantial.
