04/11/2009 i didn't get to see the first 50 minutes... but sounded good. xD well, the rest of the movie is. why shouldn't the first 50 minutes be? See more 12/07/2008 The photography is really good, good acting... good, believable story. It is very slow-paced though, which didn't bother me, but not a good choice for people who do. See more 11/13/2008 I still feel like this movie didn't do anything unique or new. I "got it", but I struggled to understand what it was I was in fact, supposed to get. The acting is superior, and the story works, but I think when it is said and done, the story kinda sucks. The only reason I give it a 3 is because a certain someone did a few good points I had to give in to. See more 11/07/2008 Excelente!!! Muy buena, muy bonita, muy triste. See more 11/04/2008 Una pequeña joya!!!!!! See more 10/31/2008 Really mysterious, with inner logic, inner world. Sad so sad, pictures full of shadows. But then it's not just another depressive story. Gives you an inside to a human's soul See more Read all reviews
