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 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.” Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter 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. Oct 8, 2025 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety 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. Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row [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. Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Rania Richardson Film-Forward.com 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. Rated: 3/4 Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín 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] Rated: 4/4 Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
