'The Mad Woman and the Feminist' Review: MiamisFF
'The Mad Woman and the Feminist': This Spanish entry for the MiamisFF directed by Sandra Gallego handles a difficult conversation in a smart, memorable way.
Nesio
It is a light and amusing story about Nemesio, a small time drug dealer who has never managed to get away from his mother or his childhood traumas, and carries on his back the stigma of a born loser. This he struggles to overcome, but finds it impossible. By intent or otherwise, Nesio becomes involved in a homicide and an impossible love with a masked woman wrestler. All of this framed by downtown Mexico City.

"The Father" is a Depressing But Insightful Look at Dementia
With The Father, writer-director Florian Zeller- who wrote and developed the play upon which the film is based- pulls no punches as he confidently makes every effort to put the audience in the mind of someone whose grip on reality has all but vanished. It’s a dazzling testament to Zeller’s abilities as a director as he makes his first transition from stage to film appear as if he’s been working behind a camera his entire career. The dialogue he fashions with co-writer Christopher Hampton, along with the work of production designers Peter Francis and Cathy Featherstone, collectively makes the downward spiral of dementia startlingly tangible, doing so in a way that can be comprehended by everyone except the person it directly affects.
