Diane says: “This is my 10th film ‘at’ Sundance.
“Noelia is a native of Vieques, an island of Puerto Rico that the US Navy used as a bombing test site for decades–and left the trash behind. In early midlife, Noelia, like many others from Vieques, has cancer. Isel Rodríguez is superb as brave artist Noelia, who faces down her family and friends as she takes charge of her own future.
“Director Glorimar Marrero Sánchez is a Puerto Rican multimedia artist, and LA PECERA benefits from her eye for images, light, and texture. Especially beautiful water scenes. Both political and poetic, this one gets 4 cats.”
