Our take
A promising new directorial voice from Latin America, Lucía Carreras devotes her third venture behind the camera to exploring femininity in this cross-generational drama. Set amid the buzzing streets of Mexico City, Tamara and the Ladybug is a resonant, sensitively-told tale of human bonding.
