Agreeable too: the lack of exaggerated violence. The force of small gestures, or eye-looks, is much more impressive, sometimes! A problem of the movie is its over-constructed end; death as a dramatic vehicle is always a bad idea if it doesn't come out from the inner logic of tale. In my opinion, the "dramatic" points like the struggle between the friends or the "explosion" between Anna and David, are not well-reached either. But, after all: not that bad! Manuel Rivera
