Our take

Even when everything seems to be going well, dilemmas can creep up on us and force us to reconsider our failures and successes—and that’s just what happens in La Afinadora de Árboles. With great nuance and tenderness, director Natalia Smirnoff delivers a fascinating portrait of a mid-life crisis.
