Don't Be Afraid

Don't Be Afraid (No tengas miedo, 2011) is a Spanish drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Montxo Armendáriz. Silvia is twenty-five, and something from her childhood has followed her into adulthood. She's been managing it — avoiding it, really. Then she decides to stop.

Armendáriz builds the film around Silvia's choice to confront the people and feelings she's been running from. Belén Rueda and Lluís Homar head a cast that refuses easy moral categories — nobody here is simply a villain. Michel Jenner carries the lead with a controlled rawness that makes the film's deliberate pace feel earned rather than slow. Watch Don't Be Afraid online on iFILM.
