Like a Bolt of Lightning is one of those films that feels both personal and universal, capturing the essence of adolescence. Pablo, the protagonist, stands out with his relatable struggles, balancing teenage rebellion with the search for identity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to really sit with his emotions—there’s a mix of lighthearted moments and deeper reflections on father-son relationships that really set the tone. The performances, particularly by Assumpta Serna as his mother, anchor the film, bringing a genuine warmth. There’s this undercurrent of nostalgia, and while the story might tread familiar territory, it does so with a refreshing authenticity. And the cinematography? It really captures the mood and vibe of the era, quite nicely enhancing the overall experience.
