A wonderful surprise, 24 May 2008
10/10
Author: marconistico from United States

I saw this movie by chance on IFC a few days ago. It was a delight. The premise is really interesting and the acting is superb.This film is Eva Aridjis's first feature and it was a wonderful surprise to discover that she is a greatly talented young director, whose style is already very accomplished and refined. Everything in this film is made with a loving, expert and sensitive hand. From the choice of the locations to the use of the music, the superb editing and the wonderful dialog. The characters are all very interesting and poignant. The strong performances made me want to see more of those actors. I am looking forward to the next feature by Eva Aridjis.
