Rating: Rated R (sexual content and language)
Main Cast:
Penelope Cruz ... Raimunda
Carmen Maura ... Irene
Lola Duenas ... Sole
Blanca Portillo ... Agustina
Yohana Cobo ... Paula
It's the story of the estrangement and reunion of women, as sisters Raimunda (Cruz) and Sole (Duenas) and Raimunda's daughter Paula (Cobo) face a series of life-altering events. This was a very true film, full of colors and love for the women at the center of its story - flaws and all. The acting was genuine and charming, especially from Cruz.
The revelations in the story were rather predictable, and the result were a few passages that seemed to drag. Without the suspense of not knowing the final outcome, the subtlety of certain scenes felt more tedious than anything else. But the cast was magnetic, and the sentiment of the story was heartfelt. A touching, enjoyable film.
Final Grade: B
