CGiii Comment
Forty-year-old Nora hits a life crisis in a rowdy, free-flowing, and playfully uninhibited Mexican dramedy that goes all in, full speed, with endless experimental verve.
As Nora approaches her 40th birthday, she wonders what the point of everything is. To figure out what "life is", she’s forced to confront her family past, her relationship with her husband and their polyamorous lifestyle, her (non-)career, and death itself. In the mix are a childhood friend who disappeared when she was young, a best-friend-cousin, a loved aunt, a piano—plus a whole bunch of other disparate characters. It’s funny, sad, sexy, weird, exhausting, embarrassing, and irresistible to tag along as Lorena Villarreal reflects on feminism, middle age, love, loss, and resistance.
