Medea

About This Movie

Medea (2017) takes a look at the often murky waters of youth, focusing on María José, a 25-year-old navigating her way through university life and distant familial ties. The film's tone is introspective and somewhat melancholic, capturing that feeling of being caught between adolescence and adulthood. Pacing feels organic, sometimes slow, which enhances its reflective nature—perfect for those who appreciate character-driven narratives. The performances are subtle yet impactful, especially the chemistry between María José and Javier, which feels refreshingly real. It’s distinctive in how it explores the limits of personal relationships amidst a backdrop of existential contemplation, using practical effects minimally, allowing the raw emotions to take center stage.
