Dennis_MirandaAugust 25, 2025Like Michel Franco’s debut "Daniel & Ana", this film again tackles the subject of sexual trauma. We’ve seen many films use youth violence to reflect deeper familial and societal dysfunction, but Franco’s cold, clinical aesthetic stands out. He captures disturbing acts of brutality with a starkness that makes them feel almost unbearable to watch.

Abbey_RobertsAugust 25, 2025"After Lucia" unfolds with static shots and an understated visual style, quietly chronicling a harrowing case of bullying. The film carries an oppressive, suffocating atmosphere throughout. Although the first half suffers from loose pacing, the second half finds its footing as it gradually reveals the true weight of the abuse.

Alma Raquel Alonso LucenaMay 22, 2025Esta película te hará sentir incomodidad y posiblemente impotencia (temas de bullying). En su momento la vi en el cine y salí asqueada (en muchos sentidos). Vale muchísimo el tiempo verla. El final es brutal y cuestionable (Viendo el contexto).
