201698 min7.0 / 10

A deeply introspective, melancholic portrait of a woman's life unraveling across three decades, anchored by regret, estrangement, and the weight of accumulated loss.

The film spans 30 years in Julieta’s life from a nostalgic 1985 where everything seems hopeful, to 2015 where her life appears to be beyond repair and she is on the verge of madness.
