Amazing Elisa

Amazing Elisa (Spanish: Asombrosa Elisa) is a 2022 Spanish thriller drama film written and directed by Sadrac González-Perellón which stars Jana San Antonio as the title character alongside Silvia Abascal, Asier Etxeandia, and Iván Massagué.

The plot follows Elisa, a 12-year-old girl coping with the trauma pertaining the death of her mother in a car accident.

She tries to convince her sullen father Esteban that she has superpowers so she can exert revenge on those responsible for the tragedy.

It also tracks the plight of the dysfunctional couple formed by Héctor and Úrsula, the former being a painter, and the latter a sexually-active woman adapting to a wheelchair-bound life in the wake of the aforementioned accident.

[13] Júlia Olmo of Cineuropa deemed the film (otherwise featuring elements and sequences strongly reminiscent of Carlos Vermut's films) to be "an interesting offering, that proposes a narrative of somewhat originality", yet failing to "strike the tone it aspires to and from which it feeds".
