Overview
- The film is now streaming in India on Mubi, broadening access following its earlier festival and theatrical run.
- Emma Mackey stars as Sofia, who accompanies her mother Rose to Almería for treatment and begins a relationship with Ingrid.
- Mackey said she sought the role because it diverges sharply from her Sex Education breakout, describing Sofia as more restrained and enigmatic.
- She added that Fiona Shaw and Vicky Krieps were attached before she joined and that Lenkiewicz framed the adaptation as its own piece separate from the novel.
- A new Hindustan Times review lauds Fiona Shaw’s performance and finds the debut striking despite occasional excess, giving it 3.5 stars.
