Our take

Sebastián Lelio (Gloria) draws a rich and complex portrait of a grief-stricken woman, and the abuse she faces from a conservative society. Boasting an extraordinary central performance by transgender actress Daniela Vega, this Pablo Larraín-produced film won the Foreign Language Film Oscar®.
