This movie is so good. And to be honest, it was hard to find any significant flaws in it. Trust me; you’ll like this. Especially if you’re a fan of directors like David Lynch but also Luca Guadagnino.

Regina is a weird combination of both a coming-of-age tale and a gripping, mind-bending psychological thriller. The film itself has two clear parts, with clear red herrings on the former to explain the twists and turns on the latter.

Our main character, Regina, goes around the streets of Miami across several days looking for her cat. But things aren’t how they seem. She has a strange relationship with her mother, a strong platonic connection with her friend Daisy and a group of girls who she hangs out with. 

The script is great, because it gives you enough context while being entertaining, without making you see the twists of what’s about to come.

Isabella Bobadilla is excellent as the main character. The way she glues you to the screen is unparalleled. Her acting chops are really put to the forefront when the story demands it. And her chemistry with Loren Swan (Daisy) is off the charts.

Ashley de Grandy is also SUCH A GOOD DIRECTOR! The way she plays with framing, editing and mood is exquisite, having a disturbingly sunny look in its first half and having a colourful nightmare on the second half. 

Damn! It’s hard to describe this movie without giving too much away! Don’t want to ruin the surprise. But let’s just say you should be ready for anything. 

The meticulous use of music. The tense scenery. The hidden clues. Isabella’s command and versatility. Its powerful twist that leaves a horrific tale in its wake. 

Can’t wait to see this again! Regina undoubtedly has replay value.
