(32)Muy Bien
By Bobsview (554 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 01 Apr 2013Spanish film with sub titles Poignant and sad story about an abusive father , and the lives of a mother and her alcoholic daughter who both lead down trodden hard lives in poverty. A study of how in the suffering there can be optimism and how modest aspiration can give disproportionate pleasure.- Was this review helpful to you?

Surprisingly watchable
By a customer , 16 Apr 2012Surprisingly watchable. Thought at the start it was going to be dull and depressing, but the charactacters and filming make it engaging. The Spanish was not quite as hard to follow as some films.- Was this review helpful to you?

An anti-myth?
By oriental (2 reviews) , 03 Feb 2012Wonderful in its empathetic and somewhat subversive representation of old age as a space where moral courage coupled with values such as integrity and compassion, leads to a character-changing and generation-transcending relationship which offers salvation of a kind for those involved. Beautifully acted and the pace is superb; it really drew me in.- Was this review helpful to you?

Bleak -- but thought-provoking............
By artmiller (10 reviews) , 24 Jan 2012Utterly bleak, exploring the depths of loneliness and isolation. Marriage, old age, unwanted pregnancy, domestic violence -- it is all here.
It opens the door marked `Sentimentality` towards the end, but doesn`t venture too far into that room.
Again, won`t appeal to many. It is not a feel-good film! But I enjoyed it in a painful kinda way..........- Was this review helpful to you?

A Must See
By Jumoak (14 reviews) , 24 Nov 2011Really moving film. The characters were believable and sympathetic.
I was really convinced by the different stories that were going on and especially loved the relationship between the mother and the old man.
I didn't find the ending corny, just extremely satisfying.- Was this review helpful to you?
