At the height of her career, Lina, a 34-year-old Argentine stylist, is driven by a sudden impulse after an award ceremony in Switzerland. Back in Buenos Aires, she says nothing, but something in her has shifted -- quiet and invisible, it subtly unravels a past she thought she had left behind.

Zachary Barnes Wall Street Journal Oct 16
Ms. Mumenthaler has constructed her character study with subtly expressionistic imagination, deploying an enveloping, finely tuned sound design and finding a transporting musical motif in Holst’s “The Planets.” Go to Full Review Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter Oct 8
The elegance and, especially, empathy with which Mumenthaler captures the gaping chasm between how we present and who we are gives the film a voluptuous pull all its own. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Sep 26
Not all of Mumenthaler’s sideways turns yield satisfying discoveries... But this is impressively composed, searching high-art cinema, elevated by its meticulous, silkily textured formal construction. Go to Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row Nov 25
[The Currents] is a dreamy glimpse into the psyche of a woman...full of psychologically rich spaces: dark corridors, billowing curtains, and, of course, currents — the watery [and] the emotional ones. Go to Full Review Rania Richardson Film-Forward.com Nov 16
3/4
A woman’s plunge off a pedestrian bridge into the currents of the Rhône sets off a phobia of water in THE CURRENTS, an elegant portrait from Argentine writer/director Milagros Mumenthaler. Go to Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín Nov 14
4/4
The Currents will immerse us in the protagonist's inner journey, but the director narrates every moment we see and experience with Lina with a meticulousness that is overwhelming, yet fascinating.[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
