Go Cry to the Crying Room

The film, directed by Pedro Martín-Calero, tells the unsettling story of Andrea, a young woman who faces a mysterious force that haunts her. The plot reveals that this same threat had also tormented Camila, who 20 years ago was the only one who understood Andrea’s situation from ten thousand kilometers away. Throughout the narrative, the three women are united by that same disturbing experience, marked by the cry that gives the film its name, a sound that accompanies and terrifies them in equal measure.

El llanto was nominated this year for Best New Director at the Goya Awards and has received positive reviews highlighting both its direction and visual style. Media outlets like El Mundo praise its brilliant and calculated display of style, although they point to a certain incoherence in the narrative. On the other hand, Diario El Periódico emphasizes the director’s narrative and stylistic precision, who manages to cultivate an atmosphere of tension in every shot.

The main cast of the film includes Ester Expósito, Malena Villa, and Mathilde Ollivier, who have been praised for their performances. With a meticulous sound design and an artistic direction that plays with light and color, El llanto offers an immersive experience for horror movie lovers, thus confirming Ester Expósito’s growing relevance in this genre.
