Daniel G Well-developed view of a very intense moment in life - conscious preparation for death. Focus on long friendships and impactful goodbyes, while all around life continues - has to continue - for all those oblivious to the intimate drama of the protagonist.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review johann m 🇪🇸🇦🇷 Esta historia de drama se centra en las vivencias que comparten dos amigos de muchos años que se reencuentran, uno de ellos enfermo terminal, que quiere pasar sus últimos días arreglando cuentas, ultimando los preparativos del funeral y encontrando un hogar para su perro, Truman. El director, Cesc Gay, trata de equilibrar la cantidad de elementos dramáticos con una buena dosis de comedia. Asimismo, las actuaciones de Ricardo Darin y Javier Càmara son maravillosas y cautivadoras en una historia realista que toca las fibras más sensibles y que cuenta con un final inesperado y muy satisfactorio. Sus 5 Premios Goya en las categorías más importantes fueron más que merecidos. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Late R I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but I honestly didn't expect it to go about things the way that it does, nor that it would be so effective because of it. 'Truman' approaches the subject of death with a casualness informed by its main character, Julian, played wonderfully by Ricardo Darin (the entire cast is fantastic and there are appearances from quite a few well-known actors/actresses throughout), and uses a long-lasting and deep friendship between two men to convey its messages. The way that relationship is handled is sublime and feels incredibly authentic, complete with an easy rapport between the two when it comes to most things, but also that difficulty and uneasiness that's ever-present when trying to express emotions and show themselves as vulnerable. And so they instead focus on spending time together and getting things done, almost avoiding really talking about what's happening -- that's something, I think, a lot of men can relate to. In fact, the whole film has a certain relatability and authenticity to it that pervades everything from the dialogue, the characters, and even the way it's shot. No one's perfect here, the characters don't handle everything perfectly; they're flawed and make/have made mistakes, but they feel genuine, like real people experiencing a real and tragic thing. It's a wonderful film, sensitive in its own way, and it hit much harder than I expected. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/22 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic movie...!
