Review of Lingua Franca (2020) by Jluis_001 — 29 Apr 2022
By combining two challenging experiences like being a trans woman and at the same time an illegal immigrant, Lingua Franca becomes a very relevant film.
The story is one that could easily have chosen darker and much more dramatic paths than what it ends up presenting, but at the same time this provides a sense of naturalness that would have been more difficult to apply in a harsher drama.
I do criticize the director for not digging a little deeper into the situations she exposes, because even though these situations are not just on the surface, let's say it lacks a little more in-depth exploration and a bit of more background for her characters.
Very convincing, but overall it ends up being overly timid and discreet.
