Broken Embraces (2009)

A must see

[9/10 · 20 March 2009]

I just saw it, here in Madrid. If you are an Almodovar's fan, don't loose this one by any chance, especially if you liked ("everything about my mother"). If your not is fan, at least watch it without prejudice! It's a fabulous movie that mixes up several stories about greed, grief, suffer and love. Sometimes the film seems complicated, but don't worry, as everything will be clear at the end. There's a lot of humor, but maybe you won't last till the final scenes. As usual in Pedro's films, there are strange families, orphan children, gays, passion, death... And once more, Penelope is amazing. I gave it an 9/10, and I think it's well worth it.

My Sassy Girl (2001)

Why you shouldn't miss this movie...

[10/10 · 4 November 2008]

Sometimes you just have to trust your friends. A great friend of mine told me I absolutely couldn't miss this movie. I doubted a bit, so I decided to come here to IMDb and check out the comments. I always do it, before going out to see a movie, and it has proved really useful. This time was not exception.

I saw it three days ago. And then, saw it again two days ago, and yesterday I couldn't resist going through some of the most important scenes (also trying to understand better some little details).

It's really an amazing movie. It's all about what most matters in life. It's simple, it's funny, sometimes even hilarious, it's poetic and deeply touching. It's impossible to control the laughs, but sometimes also the tears. It makes you dream about real love and makes you want to reach out for it. Beautiful and meaning. Just like life should be.

Let's go build bridges of chance for love in our lives! Definitely 10/10
