New Showbiz Analysis

Raúl Perrone’s *Las pibas* is a minimalist exploration of intimacy that places a non-straight relationship at the core of its structure. By focusing on the connection between two women, the film avoids common clichés that treat queer relationships as mere catalysts for external drama. The film's strength lies in its observational style, which grants the female protagonists significant autonomy. Fixed open shots reinforce this sense of ability to act, allowing the characters' internal lives to drive the narrative. However, the film lacks specific information about the racial or ethnic backgrounds of the characters and does not provide any evidence concerning the representation of characters with disabilities.
