Hailing from director Sebastian Leilo,
A Fantastic Woman is the most recent winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, with its victory nearly a month ago cementing it as the first Chilena film in history to win that prestigious award. That put the motion picture and its star, Daniela Vega (who was also a presenter at this year's Oscars ceremony), on many people's radars. For those eager to know if
A Fantastic Woman is indeed living up to the hype it's generated, I can say confidently that
A Fantastic Woman (my first foray into the world of Chilean cinema) is indeed a great movie on its own terms.
