September

About This Movie

So, 'September' (2019) is this intriguing little drama that explores the complexities of adolescent relationships. Maria and Sergio, schoolmates in a tight, almost suffocating environment, dance around their feelings in silence. The pacing is deliberately measured, allowing tension to build, especially when Cristian, the boy of Maria's dreams, enters the picture with a rather blunt proposal. It’s a film that captures that awkward, fragile time of youth and first crushes, with performances that feel genuine, almost like a fly-on-the-wall experience. The cinematography is understated, enhancing the intimate moments without overwhelming them. You really get a sense of the characters' internal struggles, which makes it distinct in a sea of teen dramas. There's a raw honesty to it, which I find refreshing.
