Editor’s note: Our short take on 20,000 Species of Bees (2023): Firmly a Drama piece, but with a personal touch. Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Standout turns from Sofía Otero, Patricia López Arnaiz, Ane Gabarain keep it engaging even in quieter stretches. The 2h 9m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
