La Cocina (2024)

Adapted from a 1957 play by Arnold Wesker, this black-and-white indie takes place at a tourist-y restaurant in Times Square where Pedro (Raúl Briones), and undocumented Mexican, works as a line cook. Though known for his hot temper, he recently managed to get Estela (Anna Díaz), who he knows fro his hometown, a job there while his girlfriend Julia (Rooney Mara) works as a server. At this point in their timeline we learn two things: that Julia is pregnant and that $800 has been stolen from the restaurant, which happens to be the amount of money Pedro gives to Julia for an abortion, so he becomes the prime suspect. As for skin, we get to see Rooney in her bra and panties in a locker room after a bout of morning sickness, but she’s not the only one. There’s a whole scene of stripped-down sexpots in there, including Pía Laborde-Noguez who lotions up her naked hooters while a few of them talk about a fight in the kitchen between Perdo and Max (Spenser Granese). She’s serving up the gossip with a side of tasty tatas!
