Creatura

A beautiful film depicting how your mental state as an adult can be formed by many small incidents while growing up. Moving away from films of a similar nature that focus on one main incident or trauma, Creatura very delicately guides you through a variety of events, all of which have amalgamated to form the mental block that is the centrepiece of the film. Although not everyone may identify with what she experiences as an adult directly, there are many parts of this film that will be very relatable to everyone.

An incredibly thoughtfully written script that manages to inject much appreciated moments of humour and raw human emotion into what is otherwise an uncomfortable topic. This is aided by the incredible performances of all involved.

All the more impressive that Elena Martín co-wrote, directed and starred in this film.
