Five Cent Cine: The Currents

The Currents (“Las corrientes”) ★★★ (out of 4 stars) Availability: See end of review. Writ on Water “Nowhere to Go.” It could be an alternative title for Argentine writer and director Milagros Mumenthaler’s bleak film. The phrase captures how “The Currents” confines and limits its mentally ill protagonist, Lina (a compelling Isabel Aimé González-Sola)—and the theater audience along with her—presenting the young career woman as unhappy, non-verbal, and lacking in free will, tossed about by her feelings (of ephemeralness, of inadequacy)
