  • Sensationally defiant

    I admire this film for many reasons. But mainly for a script that defies sensationalism, and for the pitch-perfect performances from the two leads 'Laia Maru' and 'Luis Tosar'. I look forward to seeing more of them and director Icair Bollain's talent in the future.

    I thought this was a good study of the emotional switchback of living with an abusive husband and the pervasive effect on the lives of the couple. Not a laugh a minute but one of those films making you will the characters won't fall into the traps. Spanish subtitled.

  • rewarding spanish homework

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    This is a gruelling and realistic look at how a family copes with domestic violence and eventually reaches a resolution, set in the city of Toledo. There are honest, naturalistic actors' performances in real settings. Highly recommended if you want a change from Almodóvar to practise some Spanish listening and well worth watching even if you are not learning Spanish.

  • Not easy but worth it

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Bermondsey (86 reviews) from Bermondsey, London , 18 Jun 2009
    This is not an easy movie to watch as it literally hurts. It deals with domestic violence and is clever in that it doesn’t play the black and white roles of abuser and victim, it has an interesting integration of other family members, another AMAZING Spanish movie.

    This film focusses on domestic violence in a marriage and some of the reasons why men do it. It is a french film. I wouldn't really recommend it as I didn't really see any story line to it.
