20.000 especies de abejas (2023)
A strong concept for a film held back by terrible pacing

This movie is about the family of a kid coming to terms with its assigned gender, in a rural, traditional part of Spain. The cinematography is beautiful, and the writing is subtle enough that the characters come off as realistic, living, breathing humans instead of caricatures or stand-ins for the writer's beliefs. However, the pacing of the movie is absolutely horrible. For about the first 30 or 40 minutes, absolutely nothing of importance happens, there is no conflict between characters until the later half of the movie. There is also a whole subplot about a missing saint that goes absolutely nowhere. This movie is about 20 or 30 minutes longer than it should be.
