Cycles

About This Movie

Cycles is an intriguing look into the life of a young cyclist named Ignacio Semeñuk. The film captures that awkward transition from adolescence to adulthood, the pressures of training, and the complexities of first love. It has this raw, almost gritty atmosphere, which feels very authentic and relatable. The pacing is a bit eclectic, mirroring Ignacio's own turmoil; one moment it’s all about the adrenaline of cycling, and the next it delves into more introspective moments. The performances, though from lesser-known actors, carry a certain sincerity that pulls you in. It’s not your typical family film; it feels more like a rite of passage that subtly suggests how the cycles of life influence our choices and relationships.
