Thou shalt not steal

About This Movie

Thou Shalt Not Steal, directed by Viviana Cordero, really digs into the chaotic world of adolescence. Lucia, with her punk rock edge, navigating family trauma, is a refreshing take on coming-of-age. The pacing is deliberately slow, but it enhances the emotional weight, letting you really feel her struggle. The performances are quite raw, especially from the young lead, who embodies that rebellious spirit while holding her family together. It’s gritty, showcasing a more realistic take on familial breakdown and the pressures of youthful responsibility. The atmosphere feels dense, almost suffocating at times, which pairs well with the themes of loyalty and survival. There's something almost tangible about the way the film captures the disarray of family life.
