Why watch this film?
In Mexico, the role of the mother is always written with a capital letter and placed on a pedestal. But 'Las hijas de Abril' (April's Daughters), a brutal melodrama by Michel Franco (director of 'Después de Lucía'), puts that pedestal to the test. In this Cannes-awarded movie, no woman is saintly simply for being a mom; rather, they are all human and capable of committing even the cruelest mistakes.
