Maribel
2022 · 0h 15m · Drama
Skip this one tonight—while the premise tackles real social issues with gravity, the relentlessly bleak cycle of abuse and poverty without apparent narrative depth or resolution feels more like a slog than a meaningful drama. Without critical validation or standout performances to lean on, you'd be better served by a character-driven story that actually earns its emotional weight.

After getting the food and the money. She returns to the annex where she lives with her abusive boyfriend, Rafael, who ends up beating her and stealing the food that is for her daughter.
