At an old manor house in northern Portugal, Ana helps her friend, Emília, the elderly housekeeper who is determined to continue to keep the unoccupied house in order for the owners who are never there.

Wendy Ide Screen International 05/23/2023
A film that embraces the mundane rhythms of domestic service as a means to interrogate the end of an era, but which is too passive in its storytelling to drive its point home. Go to Full Review Nadine Whitney The Curb 09/18/2023
Légua is a melancholy film, but it is a film about life as it is lived by so many. The ordinary world is also the infinite world and Légua reminds us that we are living in both simultaneously. Go to Full Review Martin Kudlac ScreenAnarchy 06/12/2023
A thoughtful contemplation of time's passage. ... Despite its docu-fiction format, Reis and Miller Guerra's latest work evolves into a sensory experience. Go to Full Review Alexander Miller Film Inquiry 06/05/2023
The film, in its entirety, looks and feels profound, but there are moments when it wanders a bit too far, leaving us a little unmoored. Go to Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies 06/03/2023
56/100
Légua doesn’t realize something new or all that meaningful about cinema, but it does pare down its subject and form to a specificity that borders on the transcendental. Go to Full Review Jara Yáñez Caimán Cuadernos de Cine 06/01/2023
Légua transmits the powerful ability to approach the expression of sensitivity throughout the body. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
