Rutina

About This Movie

Rutina delves into the monotony and isolation many experienced during quarantine. It captures the surreal experience of working from home, blending a raw, relatable atmosphere with moments of introspection. The pacing is mostly steady, allowing the viewer to feel the weight of the day-to-day rituals that become so familiar yet suffocating. Estrada does well with minimal practical effects, crafting an environment that feels both intimate and stifling. The performances are understated, which adds to the realism; you can almost sense the frustration and search for connection. It’s distinctive in its unguarded exploration of a universal experience that many can reflect on, even after life returns to normal.
