Leyre, the protagonist, navigates a blend of comedy and crime that feels both raw and absurdly relatable. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflecting the unpredictable nature of her situation. Despite the unknown director's touch, the performances are engaging, especially Leyre's portrayal of a mother pushed to her limits. The humor strikes a balance with the darker themes, creating a unique atmosphere that captures the tension of familial loyalty. Practical effects come into play, adding a gritty feel to the situations that unfold, making it a distinctive watch amidst the sea of genre offerings.
