Synopsis

With her mother's diary in hand, Marina's search for official documents for university leads her to her biological family on the Atlantic coast. What starts as an administrative quest reveals long-buried family secrets.
Moviegoers are saying
Carla Simón's 'Romería' emerges as a deeply personal meditation on family memory and inherited trauma that divides audiences between those who connect with its dreamlike exploration of Spanish family dynamics and those who find its silences and symbolic violence challenging. Critics consistently praise Simón's visual poetry and her ability to capture the complex emotions of reconstructing lost family connections through others' memories.

A sensual reframing of a story that must still be raw for Simón, 38, the film doesn’t quite match the subtlety and originality of Summer 1993. It’s a satisfying enough addition to the saga, though, and a fillip for the Galician tourist board.

Romería isn’t without its own unique shape, or visual vitality, or a narrative sense of joie de vivre, but it doesn’t always stand out from the pack even as Simón deserves credit for rendering her autobiography in aesthetically sublime terms.

Romería‘s exploration of closure and self-discovery makes for an absorbing watch.
