The Mistress (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

In the middle of her husband’s funeral, Maritere (70) receives a visit from Angela (65), whom she hasn't seen in decades. Maritere reacts as if she has seen a ghost, and wards off all of Angela's approaches. Maritere's overprotective son, Fernando notices the strange interactions between the two women and assumes that Angela is one of his late father's mistresses. However, it is revealed that Maritere and Angela were intimate lovers a long time ago. Under pressure by Fernando who wants to throw Angela out of the house, Maritere will have to decide whether to continue her present life as a widow or give herself the chance to feel love again.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
