Ma Ma has many messages in it; and they are all good ones. The most important one is, to live to the fullest no matter what is thrown at you.
I’ve been a long time fan of Penélope Cruz’ work and this is the most mature role I’ve seen her in. I liked the visuals it worked without it being too gimmicky.
The film brings you in and holds your interest.
The plot: Ma Ma follows Magda (Cruz) as she experiences tragedies and miracles alike. Just as Magda is diagnosed with breast cancer, she meets Arturo (Luis Tosar), a devoted husband and father in the midst of unspeakable loss. Their chance encounter leads both down a path of strength, grace, love, and rebirth.
The film opens in Los Angeles, May 27.
