‘Ashes’ Review: Diego Luna Helms a Middling, Meandering Migration Drama
- What’s Inside:
- A look at the new movie ‘Ashes’.
- Why it’s getting mixed reactions.
- A peek into the story.
So, we just heard about Diego Luna’s new movie, ‘Ashes’. It’s based on a book called “Ceniza en la boca.” Sounds like it has a really strong, almost gritty vibe, doesn’t it? We’re always excited to see what Diego Luna does behind the camera.
But, uh oh. The reviews are calling it ‘middling’ and ‘meandering.’ That’s a tough pill to swallow when you’re hoping for something amazing. It sounds like the movie might not quite hit the mark for everyone.
The story is about a 21-year-old nanny named Lucila. She’s from Mexico, but she’s in Madrid now with her younger brother. They followed their mom there from their hometown. It seems like the film captures the feeling of being in a new place, bound by shared history but struggling with the surroundings.
Our Take
It’s always a bummer when a film doesn’t quite live up to the hype, especially when it’s got a director like Diego Luna at the helm. We’re curious to see if the visuals and the performances can pull the story through, even if the pacing is a bit off. We’ll have to keep an eye on this one!
