Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her

About This Movie

Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her has this gently woven narrative that brings together a handful of women, each dealing with their own struggles. It’s not just about their stories but how they weave in and out of each other's lives. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, which allows you to really absorb the weight of their emotions. Rodrigo García’s direction shines in the way he captures the subtleties of relationships, and the performances, especially from Glenn Close and Amy Brenneman, are deeply nuanced. The film often feels like a quiet exploration of the complexities of womanhood and the connections we form, or sometimes fail to form. A delicate balance of drama and romance that’s quite distinctive in its approach.
