A true work of art!

Rating: 9/10 (15 July 2007)

I was recommended this film by several people and in the end decided to watch it. It left me thinking deeply for so long... The casting, the atmosphere, the music... it's just so subtle and absolutely perfect! Nothing is overdone... The performance by Ivana Baquero is stunning, the captain (played by Sergi Lopez) is one of the most believably brutal characters on film and I have never seen a film where there is not one single weakness in casting until this one. The flow of the film is so smooth. It feels timeless, never-ending and extra-ordinarily though provoking. It is very rare that you see a film like this and it is a piece of art just not worth missing. Definitely one of the greatest films to date!
