Language Lessons

AroView: A Spanish teacher and her American student develop an unexpected friendship over a series of conference calls in this quirky, Co-Vid inspired directing debut from Natalie Morales, who also stars. Indie rom-com stalwart Mark Duplass plays a gay man who also gets to work out some impressive bi-lingual acting skills.

“Morales and Duplass are both appealing enough that their charm shines through in even this seemingly limited format, and the result is an intimate feature that earns that closeness through every stilted video message and free-flowing video conference.” ~Kate Erbland, IndieWire

“Films explicitly about the formation of friendships are rare, and Morales and Duplass have fashioned rather a perceptive one, adapting the push-pull dynamics of a romantic comedy to more delicate psychological terrain.” ~Guy Lodge, Variety
