The master piece that we where waiting for a long time...
24 September 2006 | by (Spain) – See all my reviews

I saw Ninette last year, and in my opinion it was one of the best films I saw in the whole year. Humour is very intelligent and Garci knows who make you laugh in a very polite and smart mood. These film it is not for all tastes because it's not a quick movie and who wants to see the film only for Elsa Pataky will get bored, because if you only find see her naked you can download the pictures on th Internet. The film is another thing, a good story based in the plays about the character of Ninette, the performances, the cinematography...everything almost touch the perfection.Elsa Pataky makes her best performance( she was great and superb in Romasanta, Tiovivo c1950 and Beyond Re-animator), she makes you laugh, cry and now she has become a well-known actress. The other actors in the cast are fantastic. Garci has done a very good master piece, if you want to fall in love with Ninette,just watch it(her).
