I have to say I was very disappointed in ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER. The story is the most contrived thing I've ever seen on screen - sophomoric really. I understand it's trying to uncover the humanity in these people and make a statement about the alienation that women may feel in modern society, but I have a really hard time connecting with it because I don't believe in one single aspect of this world. It's all so implausible that it hurts. Okay, I get that it's a "movie" and that the notion of "realism" is not of the utmost importance, but this film is a muddled mess that confuses "shocking" and "ridiculous" with "edgy" and "interesting."
TALK TO HER (HABLE CON ELLA) is a far far better film. It takes an initial leap of faith with the audience and then trusts itself.
