Romería
Romería
A quietly powerful Spanish family drama, Romería is a moody, transporting modern folktale about a young woman who returns to her coastal hometown to unravel the mystery of her father’s death. Generational wounds, painfully guarded secrets, and the tensions between urban and rural family members thread their way through a slow-burn narrative that drifts into magical realism.
From The New Yorker‘s Justin Chang: “Simón plots out the tensions and affinities within this sprawling family with an on-the-fly deftness that never feels diagrammatic; it takes a while to glean exactly how everyone’s related, but the details matter less than the emotional texture.” (Read the review)
