Review of Souvenir

Souvenir (III) (2019)
3/10
Soap Opera
1 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
There was an outstanding performance by the actress playing the lead of Isabel, a young mom so desperate to get back to her son that she decides to become a surrogate in order to earn the money.

Unfortunately for Isabel, the two prospective parents, Sara and Joaquin, as well as the professor named Bruno with whom she is having an affair, were some of the most insensitive characters imaginable.

Throughout the film, there is the feeling of a soap opera in which Isabel finds herself at the center. There is virtually no warmth from the two parents and grave concerns about whether they could even pay her because of their financial problems. As for the professor, Bruno was callous to the degree that he would not even listen to her when she wanted him to know that he was the child's father.

The film's ending was so full of pathos that it was difficult to discern any order in this world without the sparkling presence of Isabel.
