Every time its a new experience

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2016)

I had heard such rave reviews of this film from my friends and colleagues that I just had to watch it, and I'm glad that I did. What an exquisite piece of work. I loved the cinematography and the casting was perfect. Darin and Villamil, as well as the supporting actors, delivered outstanding performances--so believable and touching. Took a bit to get into this movie, but once into it, I became immersed. Afterwards, I couldn't get the movie out of my mind. Really stayed with me. What I originally thought of as slow was simply a steady build up to the movie climax. Nicely done. Intriguing. The romantic storyline didn't do anything for me (and I found it implausible) but the detective/suspense part was awesome. Not sure if I want to see the recent re-make because it might ruin this version of the story for me.
