Peruvian director Claudia Llosa (‘The Milk of Sorrow’) brings an acclaimed novel by Samanta Schweblin to the screen in a mysterious tale of motherhood and existential crisis.
, a film that lives up to its name, their connection is inextricable and eerie, shaped and propelled by an uncanny sense of emergency. Setting Claudia Llosa’s chilling new feature apart is how thoroughly it plants the viewer within its story’s emotional churn.
And it wastes no time, plunging us straight into a disorienting sense of crisis in its opening seconds: A woman, seemingly paralyzed, describes in voiceover the feeling of something wormlike within her body as she’s dragged over brush by a young boy. Whether he’s taking her toward safety or deeper into danger, we don’t know.
