A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
The Future
Leopoldo returns to his hometown motivated by the woman he was in love with 25 years ago. Simultaneously, Esteban, his teenage son, travels to the beach with his high school classmates, where he will strive to fit into a group that is hostile to him. Both must confront themselves to achieve what they believe will make them happy.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
