A male professor at the university is in conflict with his own roles as husband, father and teacher. The eventual relationship with a female student highlights his crisis. As in a mirror, a female professor, also in crisis, has an eventual relationship with a male student. The duplicate story questions the power relations between genders. How do a woman and a man react to the same situation? How does the environment respond?

Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter 06/14/2024
The film is carried less by its somewhat familiar plot — or rather, its two matching plots — than by solid turns from the ensemble cast. Go to Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety 06/11/2024

7/10
A thoughtful and quietly intense drama, 'The Freshly Cut Grass' explores midlife discontent through mirrored stories of desire and regret. Marina de Tavira delivers a standout performance in a film that’s precise, though occasionally too restrained. Go to Full Review Marcelo Stiletano La Nación (Argentina) 09/19/2024

3.5/5
Murga confirms her usual sensibility, talent, and pliability... although in certain moments and decisions, the ease, lightness, and naturalness of her previous work is missed. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
