How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Almodóvar's 2004 Spanish-Catholic-boarding-school-abuse film anchored by Gael García Bernal in a triple role. The structural commitment to letting the abuse history be the actual subject, and the willingness to confront the Catholic Church's institutional protections with documentary specificity, is rare Spanish cinema at its most-politically-pointed register.
