Laia Costa's Fight Against Patriarchal Structures

Un amor is brilliantly acted by Laia Costa, who masterfully portrays the fear, sadness, loneliness, and helplessness of her character in the face of patriarchal structures. Every man in this movie essentially uses her to satisfy his own desires, forcing themselves into her life and leaving her no room to breathe. Even the one man she likes exploits her rather than offering genuine reciprocity.This is a very difficult movie to watch, as we witness the protagonist endure relentless suffering. It feels like a downward spiral, and as I sat there, I desperately hoped she would catch a break. Make sure not to watch this film if you're already feeling low-it's as emotionally heavy as it gets. That's not a criticism, though, but rather a testament to the message it seeks to convey.Trapped in a small village, Laia Costa's character struggles against a community deeply rooted in patriarchy, which pressures her to conform or face exclusion. Un amor is a heartbreaking yet courageous film, elevated by Laia Costa's outstanding performance.

My (sex) life without me

Or is it with me? Well no pun intended and if you have seen previous movies of the director of this, you may see what I did there ... but the joke works without the knowledge too. Now talking of knowing stuff: you should be aware that the main female character has to make a decision about her well being - mentally but also physically.It is so well played .. and there are so many really good scenes in it. She is broken - she has issues, quite a few of them ... she needs to break free of them (dance the pain away?) ... will she be able to? Because quite a lot of things are being thrown on to her ... she seems like a good soul ... but she is torn inside ... there is more gray (character wise) in this movie than black or white ... it does have questions ... and it is not easy to watch ... but it might stick with you after you watch it ... just be aware what the journey will be like (great performances, awesome sets - which probably are just real locations/houses) ...
