Mia

About This Movie

So, 'Mia' is this intense little piece from 2020 that really digs into the psyche. You’ve got Alba, who’s basically thrown into chaos with the arrival of a baby she wasn’t prepared for. It’s a drama, sure, but there’s an undercurrent of thriller that keeps you on edge. The pacing can feel a bit frantic, mirroring Alba's mental unraveling, which is depicted with some raw performances. The atmosphere is claustrophobic—think tight shots in that small apartment that really amplify her isolation. It’s not flashy with effects, but the practical elements really pull you into her deteriorating state of mind. A unique exploration of motherhood and vulnerability, it’s a film that invites discussion long after the credits roll.
