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]

Though it’s nicely drawn, and the performances are good, especially from Sánchez, this is all fairly familiar stuff.

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
