Amaia has just become a mother and realizes that she doesn't really know how to be one. When her partner goes away for several weeks because of his job, she decides to go to her parents' house, in a lovely coastal village in the Basque Country, and so share the responsibility of looking after her baby. What Amaia doesn't know is that, even though she is a mother now, she is still a daughter.

When Pedro Almodovar endorses a movie, it is worth a watch.

I can’t recall a recent movie that is more attuned to both the challenges and the opportunities that parenthood brings to bear upon not only the parents but also upon the entire family at large.

Rated: 9/10

In Their Own League

A generational drama about the complexities of parent child dynamics, particularly the much overlooked mother daughter relationship, its resounding empathy is matched only by its astonishing craft.

Cinco Lobitos is one of the best films to have passed through the festival circuit last year. And better yet, when compared to the hundreds of directorial debuts that arise yearly, this one stands out.

Rated: A

As the movie progresses, it transforms into a clear and direct reflection on the role of women as caregivers, focusing on the imposed responsibilities of a patriarchal society. [Full review in Spanish]

Honestly, for a horror movie trope that sometimes feels overdone, the movie's take was exceptional. It brought up questions of one's own morality when it comes to choosing to sacrifice one life for another especially when it is one's own child

The movie itself has many great aspects to it, great Hebrew fables, it is honestly enjoyable feature. It does get a little slow at times but does keep you interested. It also is predictable at times, though I feel the actors kind off are blahsey about what is going on to them. The characters are great though we don't fully connect with them we rather get caught up into wishing them our best due to the ultimate twist isn't there always a twist?

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
