Loreak, released in the US as Flowers,[1] is a 2014 Basque-language Spanish drama film directed by Jon Garaño and Jose Mari Goenaga.
Lourdes, who is still embittered by Beñat's death and suspecting an extramarital affair, tracks down Ane under the guise of taking her for a lift to the crash site.
The website's critical consensus states: "Directors Jon Garaño and Jose Mari Goenaga have crafted an intimate and beautifully filmed drama about loss and healing, though it occasionally suffers from a slow pace".
[8] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
[9] Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter praised it for being "as beguiling and beautifully structured as the flowers of its title" and said it "absolutely deserves wider exposure".
[10] Jay Weissberg of Variety called the film "beautifully cast" and "an affecting story of loss and the ways people cope".
On the mixed side, Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía gave Loreak 3.5 stars out of five and observed that "by means of so much perfection [...] the result loses some spontaneity, some audacity, and perhaps, some weight".
