      Audience Member Es una adapatacion muy buena del libro Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely didn't enjoy the film as much as when I saw Yerma on the stage. Some parts were atmospheric and passionate, others felt weird and out of place. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite boring; and the constant use of folk songs to help the story along was rather annoying. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the best Spanish-language film I have ever seen. Yerma's story - her obsession and her mental breakdown - is acted brilliantly and told beautifully. This movie really touched a nerve. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Drama de Federico Garcia Lorca, lo que uno quisiera que sucediera nunca ocurre, cada personaje es fiel a sus ideales. Buenisima para ver en obra de teatro! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member de pelos!!! pero no es mi favorita comoquiera Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
