El Planeta

About This Movie

So, 'El Planeta' is quite the piece. It captures this raw, almost chaotic vibe of post-crisis Spain, you know? The mother-daughter duo blurs the lines between survival and delusion, and their chemistry feels so real. There's a blend of comedy and drama that keeps the pacing interesting—one moment you're chuckling, the next, you're feeling the weight of their situation. The practical effects are subtle but effective, reinforcing the gritty atmosphere without overshadowing the story. The performances feel natural; they draw you in. There's a distinctiveness in how it tackles themes of desire versus reality, and the way these two cling to their dreams while navigating impending eviction is compelling. It's not your typical narrative, and that’s what makes it stand out.
