BERTA
The story of a woman called Berta who seeks understanding from a man that hurt her in the past. Despite her methods might be seen as unorthodox, she’ll make her point.
Nerea Barros captivates as the titular character. She walks a perfect line between anxiety and persistence. Barros becomes a feminist icon we so desperately need.
Think Hard Candy meets Promising Young Woman. BERTA nails the subgenre. The practical FX team delivers sleight-of-hand twice.
Filmmaker Lucía Former Segarra‘s writing is so slick. She comes full circle in her shorts trilogy, specifically calling out the names of her previous films in the dialogue. BERTA is the ultimate form of therapy for all of us with unresolved trauma. It is a delicious treat for our revenge fantasies.
