flows wonderfully

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2009)

Sometimes you don't need an over-dramatic climax to make a good film. The story flows wonderfully and each of the characters are equally fair amount of spotlight. Each of them feels reachable and believable. The music is just fantastic. The scenery, paintings, and photography are just beautiful. Chrstina is dreamy, free, and spontaneous while Vicky is realistic, hard-headed yet longing at the same time. Javier Bardem as Juan Antonio is definitely sexy and pitiful while Penelope Cruz really deserved the Oscar she won for her performance in this film. This film will leave a smile on your face. A truly entertaining, light-hearted Woody Allen's creation.
