Ricardo Jornet

Ricardo Jornet—yeah, that guy’s got his fingerprints all over "A Widow's Game" (2025) and "The Lady's Companion" (2025). Not one to stick to the safe side, his work’s got this edge, you know? There’s something about the way he steers a story—sort of sly, dark humor meets a sucker-punch of emotion. In "A Widow’s Game," he dives into this twisted little world where grief isn’t just sadness, it’s a power play. The main character? She’s not your garden-variety widow. She’s clever, unpredictable, and honestly, a bit dangerous. The film dances between suspense and drama, never really settling, so you’re always a little on edge, not sure who’s lying, who’s the real threat, or if you even want her to win. Then there’s "The Lady’s Companion," which, on the surface, looks like your typical period drama. Oh, but it’s not. Jornet’s got this knack for layering in sharp wit and these biting little observations about class, loneliness, all that messy human stuff that nobody wants to admit out loud. The chemistry between the leads? It’s electric—awkward, tender, sometimes even hilarious. You’ll find yourself rooting for people you’d probably side-eye in real life. Jornet doesn’t spoon-feed you the answers, either. He lets awkward silences and sideways glances do the talking. Both films have this lingering vibe, like they stick with you after the credits roll.
