Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review David Lee K The Sea Inside, originally titled Mar Adentro, is a profound meditation on life and the right to choose how to live. It's the story of a man who fights a very long legal battle for the right to end his life, after being left quadriplegic by a diving accident. Despite what it might sound like, The Sea Inside is not a film about death, but about the strength of the human spirit. It is cinema at its most humane. This tale will stay with you long after the final scene. A must see. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Films On Blast F Absolutely brilliant all around! No one brings it like Javier Bardem! And this beautiful story is so compelling. A must see Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/23 Full Review sam I Amazing ! Not only Javier's acting, but the story of one man's life, and his battle to live it as he chose too. The story is told so well, that it is like he is a good friend of yours, and you will want him to succeed, against your hope he doesn't. Very good cast and the settings are equally as beautiful as the story. A story that goes against the norm, and give insight into a man's free will. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Taylor L The Sea Inside tackles the nonfiction fight of Ramón Sampedro to obtain the legal right to end his own life, which took place over 30 years following a diving accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. We mostly see Javier Bardem take on the character in his final years, after Sampedro had decades in his bed to think on his place and come to terms with his environment, so when we see him speak with well-wishers looking to convince him of the beauty of life he mostly responds with well-practiced jadedness. Though the film touches on plenty of melodrama, Sampedro is far from a simple character and Bardem gives him a vibrancy that isn't tempered by the character's wish to die. These sort of personal struggle narratives are ripe for almost exploitative adaptations, with producers seeing award circuit potential in the philosophical debate and the demanding performances (it would only be a few years later that Mathieu Amalric rode his tortured performance in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly to massive acclaim). But the script gives some humanity to a cool discussion regarding mortality, particularly in the ability to depict Sampedro's perspective and emotional depth; a few well-placed visions of soaring through the air before reality sets in makes the main character's emotional state a bit more understandable. Some frustration at his surroundings, rather than just a 'noble quiet', give the situation some heft. (3.5/5) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
