About This Movie

Pérez (2012) dives into the messy emotional waters between a middle-aged father and his estranged daughter. The story unfolds slowly, almost uncomfortably, capturing those awkward silences and unsaid words. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing tension to build naturally, drawing you into their fractured relationship. The performances are raw; you can sense the weight of years lost in their interactions. The film's atmosphere is heavy, layered with regret and the yearning for connection. What stands out is how it embraces imperfect moments—those little gestures that reveal so much about the characters. It’s not flashy, but rather a grounded exploration of familial bonds and the complexities of reconciling a past that’s never quite settled.
