Marisa Crespo and Moises Romera’s You Are Not Me is effective as a genre flick, if you can overlook the predictability and allow it some brownie points of creating a persuasive, unnerving sense of atmosphere. Yes, some moves are uninspired but there’s some fun to be had in watching an uptight family unravel, secrets tumbling to the fore, all brought together in a stew of fear and edgy discomfort.

What Romera and Crespo particularly succeed in building is a creeping, amplifying sense of unease, a dread that lingers beneath placid surfaces. The composure and niceties of families come under the scanner, revealing grotesque energies simmering beneath. Who can be trusted? There are all sorts of uncertain elements to be grappled with, realisations to be made peace with, confrontations demanding explanation.

The film hints at dramatic change but weaves them in slow, careful gradations, dropping the scale of it on us in terrifying,...

A film set during Christmas in Spain depicts a family reunion that takes an unexpected turn. The scene unfolds in a grand family home, presenting characters representing contemporary social diversity. Initial moments suggest warmth and connection, reminiscent of traditional holiday gatherings. Subtle undercurrents of tension emerge beneath the surface.

The narrative explores the experience of returning home after prolonged separation, holding hope for reconnection and renewal. Gradually, the comfortable family setting transforms, introducing psychological tension that surprises the audience with its dramatic shift.

The story explores familial relationships under stress, offering a nuanced view of queer family interactions. By challenging conventional family structures, the film reflects current social transformations, prompting viewers to examine complex dynamics between personal identity and societal pressures.

Narrative & Plot Structure

Aitana returns to her childhood home after three years abroad, bringing Gabi and their adopted child. The family reunion begins with a veneer of hope that quickly turns cold.

You Are Not Me (Tú no eres yo) understands the anxiety of holiday family gatherings. It weaponizes it and taps into the fear of rejection and the paranoia stemming from not being loved enough — or at least not in the way one wants. Such is the case for Aitana (Roser Tapias), who’s visiting her parents for Christmas with partner Gabi (Yapoena Silva) and adopted son in tow. Naturally, she expects a warm welcome but her parents — Dori (Pilar Almería) and Oriol (Álvaro Báguena) — are not excited to see her and are put off by her surprise appearance.

The Thriller Plays Up The Anxiety Of Aitana’s Situation

Writer-directors Marisa Crespo and Moisés Romera build tension through this complex family relationship. Things get especially heated as Aitana learns her parents have taken in Nadia (Anna Kurikka), a refugee-turned-caretaker for Aitana’s brother (Jorge Motos), and are treating her like more...

On his new album, Quevedo lets his emotions run free. On Thursday, the Spanish trap star released his second album, Buenas Noches, inspired by the late-night reflections of the last few years. He also dropped the video for his single, “Kassandra.”

“This album reflects everything I experience in the quiet hours after midnight when I say goodnight to the world,” Quevedo said in a press release about the LP. “It’s an album that explains my new way of life and everything around me.”

Aside from the single “Duro,” the...

"Aitana returns home for the first time in three years, excited to introduce her wife and their adopted infant son to her extended family and celebrate Christmas together. The family villa in the Spanish countryside is exactly as she remembers – except for the addition of Nadia, a Romanian refugee who has claimed Aitana’s bedroom, her clothes, and her family heirlooms. Why have Aitana’s conservative parents, long suspicious of immigrants, embraced the mysterious Nadia with such uncharacteristic warmth? Is Nadia a shrewd usurper, or an unwitting vessel for darker forces spreading across the land? A twisty thriller that locates the uncanny in the reflexive cordiality of the holiday season, You Are Not Me is a dark and disturbing dispatch from the most irrational realm: family."

Written & Directed By Marisa Crespo, Moisés Romera Starring Roser Tapias, Pilar Almeria, Anna Kurikka

Plot

They’re neighbors, a bit quirky, co-existing without truly living together. They share sounds through a non-soundproof wall, providing an auditory glimpse into each other’s lives. He’s an inventor; she’s a pianist. Can you imagine something sparking in their hearts, something called love? Of course, you’ve heard this story before!

Movie Review

Critically speaking, one might define this as a piece of cinema with scant originality, simple humor, and a script that seems to write itself. A humorless comedy we’ve seen a thousand times,...

Several Hollywood notables and celebrities made sure not to miss football’s biggest night when the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers faced off in Las Vegas.

Taylor Swift, Paul Rudd, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Jay-Z were among players, coaches and thousands of fans inside Allegiant Stadium to watch Super Bowl Lviii on Sunday.

Swift was seen at the game with her famous friends Blake Lively and Ice Spice. She was also spotted in a box, chatting with Travis Kelce’s brother and football center Jason Kelce, as well as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Holy Family is one of those female-led drama thrillers where the cast takes on the mantle of saving themselves and their families from trouble. It features five women who are essentially parents, and there is a young teenage girl named Mariana. She was essentially a caregiver too, because throughout the two seasons, she was a young girl who had to grow up too fast.

Spoilers Ahead

Who Was Mariana?

Mariana, aka Aitana, was the young, teenage daughter of Gloria Santos. There was no information about her father in the show, but she and her two siblings have been single-handedly raised by Gloria, whose real name is Julia. The show begins with Mariana being introduced as Aitana, a nanny hired by Gloria to help with Hugo. To the world, Hugo is Gloria’s newborn baby, but to the family, Hugo’s real name is Nico, and he is the son of Gloria’s oldest son,...

Holy Family season two is out, and all the fans of the show can witness the continuation of Gloria’s journey to keep her family safe and together amidst all the chaos that was unleashed at the end of season one. Gloria, whose real name is Julia, came across as a hardworking mother to society, but at her core, she was a dangerous person willing to harm anyone distracting her from her journey.

Spoilers Ahead

Who Is Gloria Santos?

Gloria, from the beginning of season one, was a two-faced character. She had become accustomed to manipulating her friends into believing that the life she was leading was the real one, and not once did she break from her character. Gloria never brought out the Julia version of herself because she feared her crimes would catch up to her. For Blanca, Caterina, and Alicia, Gloria was a mother to a toddler named Hugo.

Spanish drama thrillers never go out of style. The theatrics and histrionics showcased in these shows never seem to end, and there is a large portion of the audience that enjoys such content. Elite, The Snow Girl, and Money Heist are some of the prime examples of thriller drama shows coming out of Netflix Spain. Holy Family is an eight-episodic series that was released last year and is about a family that seems to have decent social standing but is burdened by many secrets.

Season one began with middle-aged mothers Blanca, Gloria, and Alicia frequently meeting at an eatery to consume copious amounts of Margarita while they trudge through their lives as mothers. The show throws light on all kinds of issues these women face. Blanca has been married to a pilot while raising her son Lorenzo, who suffers from Down syndrome. Meanwhile, Alicia is a teacher at Lorenzo’s school,...

The Uncle 5/5

Some films are to be savored. You walk in knowing little about the plot, outside of a simple premise. The lights go down, the movie starts, and you find yourself asking….”What the Hell is going on here?”

That’s the joy of The Uncle. It keeps you guessing. It drops information like breadcrumbs. Bit by bit, we gain more understanding of our characters and the strange situation they find themselves in.

At the beginning of the film, a family prepares for their Christmas celebration. The turkey is roasting,...

You’re Not Me, the feature debut by directors Moisés Romera and Marisa Crespo, has been acquired for worldwide theatrical distribution by Global Screen, per Variety.

The Christmas-set thriller is described as “a dark elevated genre thriller with elements of satire, focusing on two of the filmmakers’ obsessions: family relationships and social differences.”

In the film, “Aitana returns home for Christmas, for the first time in three years, to find that her parents have replaced her with an unknown woman. She is her own age, sleeping in her bed, wearing her clothes, living in her house, and treated by her parents as if she were their daughter. From that moment on, torn by jealousy, suspicion, and misunderstanding, Aitana tries to find out what is happening and who the intruder is that has taken her place in the family – until she discovers an unexpected and disturbing truth that is darker and...
