Soy Nevenka

Soy Nevenka is a film that captures the anguish and suffering of its protagonist with an emotional precision that resonates deeply. Mireia Oriol shines in her portrayal of Nevenka, subtly conveying the vulnerability and strength of a woman confronting a hostile environment. Urko Olazabal, on the other hand, delivers a performance that elicits immediate disdain, commanding the screen with the same intensity he's shown in Detective Touré and Maixabel.

While the film could have delved deeper into the nuances of its characters at times, it maintains a tense and respectful narrative toward the real events it portrays. Icíar Bollaín directs with meticulous care, crafting a story that, while some may find it somewhat cold, focuses on the importance of the narrative and the dignity of its protagonist.

Though some critics point out a lack of risk or an overly academic approach, the film succeeds in its mission to shed light on a key story in the fight against harassment in Spain. It's a film that undeniably invites reflection and leaves a mark thanks to its powerful performances.
