Jorge Weisz

Jorge Weisz, the dude’s got a seriously interesting filmography if you’re into movies with actual guts. Empire of Dirt (2013)? Yeah, that one really hits you in the feels. It dives right into family messiness—think mothers and daughters who seriously need therapy but have to settle for each other. There’s addiction, regret, broken relationships, and somehow—against all odds—they find a way to stumble forward. It doesn’t wrap anything up too neatly, because life isn’t neat, right? Then there’s Las Hijas De Abril (2017). That one’s got some real bite. Weisz helps bring out the rawness—this isn’t some sugarcoated family drama. You’ve got a mother-daughter dynamic that’s honestly unsettling. Abril, the mom, isn’t your typical nurturing type. There’s manipulation, jealousy, and a whole lotta secrets simmering under the surface. It feels uncomfortable in the best way—like, you can’t look away, even if you want to. The performances are killer, especially from Emma Suárez. And don’t even get me started on Wet Bum (2014). This one’s about awkwardness—pure, distilled teenage awkwardness, but it’s not just cringe for the sake of it. Sam, the main character, is fumbling her way through adolescence, dealing with body image, loneliness, and some pretty heavy stuff. It’s tender but not sappy. You get those moments where you just wanna give her a hug and tell her it’ll be okay, but the movie never panders. Weisz’s work there captures all the weird, quiet moments that actually feel real. All in all, if you’re after films that actually say something and don’t treat you like an idiot, check these out.
