Gabriela Sandoval, a well-known independent filmmaker from Mexico, openly embraces the controversial label often associated with her, using it to connect with her audience. She emphasizes her focus on the creative process and the results of her work. With a growing reputation from her previous film, "Ok, It's Fine," which gained attention in 2020, Sandoval is set to release her second feature, "A Ridiculously Easy Question," on February 17.

In this latest film, Sandoval explores the life of Andrea, a dentist portrayed by Ana González Bello, who finds herself romantically involved with her less-than-attractive patient, Miguel, a character who undergoes unexpected personal challenges. The storyline delves into themes of mental health, particularly focusing on the absurd yet revealing circumstances that arise from Miguel’s depression post-marriage. Sandoval uses humor to address serious issues, making her a unique voice in cinematic storytelling.

Sandoval critiques the film industry for favoring certain types of cinema, stating that similar themes and genres receive continuous support while others, like comedy—which she insists is equally significant—are often overlooked. By spotlighting mental health issues through a comedic lens, she hopes to engage audiences in a meaningful conversation, elevating the genre and encouraging diverse storytelling within Mexican cinema.
