Las Limpias

About This Movie

So, 'Las Limpias' from 1987 is one of those films that just sits in the back of your mind. It has this raw, almost palpable atmosphere that draws you in, even if the direction is a bit elusive. The pacing can feel deliberately slow at times, which really works to build tension and let the themes simmer. It tackles some heavy stuff—identity, superstition, and the interplay of the spiritual and the mundane. The performances have this earthy quality that pulls you into the characters’ struggles. And while there isn’t a lot of flashy effects, the practicality of what’s there hits hard. It’s a unique piece that leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.
