Liz in September

Liz in September (Liz en Septiembre, 2014) is a Venezuelan drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Fina Torres sets everything at a lakeside resort — it's Liz's birthday weekend, surrounded by the same people she's known for years, with the same dynamics that have quietly calcified.

Then a stranger arrives. Then a buried secret surfaces. Patricia Velasquez plays Liz; the ensemble — Eloísa Maturén, Mimí Lazo, Elba Escobar — fills in the orbit around her with lived-in detail.

A small, precise film about the things people don't say for decades. Torres doesn't rush toward resolution — she lets the air out slowly, which is exactly what this kind of story needs. Good for viewers who like character drama that trusts its audience. Stream Liz in September (2014) on iFILM.
