Superb

I don't typically write movie reviews, but I felt compelled to do so with this one. Note: I speak Spanish fluently so I watched without subtitles. I don't know what could be lost in translation. But being able to fully understand the dialogue surely makes a difference. I've seen this movie many, many, many times in the years since it first released in the USA. I saw it twice in the theater, I've never done that before this movie and since then. It is by far the best movie I've seen. The acting is outstanding. Ricardo Darin always delivers, but this one was just amazing. Even though the storyline moves back and forth in time, it's so that the viewer understands exactly why things happen. You laugh, you cry, you cringe. It's a roller coaster of emotions. The dialogue is amusing and spot on. The closeup of the different characters eyes at peak moments is subtle but so telling. The one camera take of the climatic scene really takes your breath away; you feel like you're there. I recommend this movie all the time. Perfection!
