Our take
Set in a country crushed by the economic crisis, Magical Girl is a thriller that draws from the darkness of its setting to weave a narrative that plunges into the depths of the human soul. Haunting and mysterious, this Spanish gem is a slow-burner that entrances all the way to its explosive finale.
