Madre (Mother)




I took a 20-minute break from the hell that is Trump's America to visit the private hell of Madre, in which a Spanish mother gets a call from her 6-year-old son who has been abandoned by his father on a deserted
beach in France. Director Rodrigo Sorogoyen shot the incredible Oscar nom in nearly one single, unbroken take and it's an absolute nightmare. 
Marta Nieto plays the titular mother who unravels before the audience's eyes
