Tarde Para Morir Joven

I had the opportunity to see this film at MSPIFF and I absolutely adored it. Too Late To Die Young is enchanting yet feels so incredibly realistic. Dominga Sotomayor Castillo shows a complete mastery of her craft to be able to make such an introspective and immersive piece.

Other user reviews talked about the lack of cultural context, but I feel as though they missed the point of the film. It is in no way a political drama. It is, if anything, a film exploring coming-of-age themes, and the freedom that comes in hand with adolescence. The "missing background" is an invalid criticism of the film, because any commentary on Chilean politics is a faint, faint backdrop on what is displayed to us.

I'd highly recommend this film :)
