The Good Girls

Mexico 2018 | 93 minutes | Spanish | Hebrew subtitles

Sofía is the queen bee of her social circle – always charming, perfect, if a tad spoiled. It is 1982, Mexico is in deep financial turmoil, and cracks are beginning to form in Sofía and Fernando's manicured life. Their capital derives from Fernando's family business, but his uncle just announced he is leaving, and the investors are also withdrawing. Alejandra Márquez Abella's elegant and meticulous feature lingers with irony and humor on the smallest of details – the gorgeous clothes, the designed houses, and whispers and looks – to present a social drama that explores the moment when idyll ends.
