Una mujer al límite

I really enjoyed it the acting from the main character was excellent the story line good and her treatment by the police as well as by social services in my experience incredibly accurate ! Definitely worth a watch

Then again this one tries quite hard and some might give it points for having a female lead and taking things to a certain level. On the other hand there are also many cliches served, which may not play that well with some viewers (especially those who like to watch quite a lot of movies).

There are a few things that will make you cringe and there are quite a few coincidences that help move the story along. If you can dig them/allow them to happen, you will be able to be entertained by the movie. If not ... well, you already know the answer as you will know the outcome of this

An engaging and entertaining movie, but not for the squeamish. The storyline effectively combines elements of social realism, thriller/suspense, gruesome black comedy and a bit of kinky humour. Technically very high standard (even though apparently made on a low budget) with a solid cast. But it's worth watching the movie for Sarah Bolger's great performance alone.

Mild-mannered single parent Sarah (Sarah Bolger) has recently lost her husband (who had been murdered). Sarah struggles with the day-to-day challenge of raising her 2 children with limited money. Things take a turn for Sarah when Tito (Andrew Simpson) enters her life and mild-mannered Sarah soon learns that Tito may know something about her husband's death. With Tito's presence becoming increasingly unwelcome, Sarah takes matters in to her own hands and becomes more determined than ever to find out once and for all who murdered her husband...

Set somewhere in Northern Ireland (no idea where as it's never explained) A Good Woman is Hard to Find is a low-budget thriller whose main focus is on an honest law-abiding woman being somewhat forced to take on a darker parallel existence in order to protect her children.

This is a slow film which undoubtedly will be a problem to some people (the first 30 minutes are particularly challenging where we're mostly just witnessing people walking round in stony silence). Once Tito enters the picture then it does liven up a bit (early on there are some quiet moments of introspection some of which are insightful before we later see Tito show his true colours).

From this point onwards the majority of the film focus on the other story strand (the heavies trying to track Tito down for stealing their drugs). At times the film does tend to lose focus and there are definitely flaws within the narrative - such as why Tito robs the heavies in the first place? This is never explained. It also has to be said that this film is quite graphic so those that are easily disturbed by extreme violence are advised to approach the film with caution. Also worth noting are the accents which can sometimes be quite hard to understand (and this is coming from someone that is English btw)

Sarah's determination to get to the bottom of her husband's murder leads to a showdown with the heavies which is suitably tense with a couple of twists thrown in for good measure. Overall then this is not an amazing film that is likely to blow anyone away, but after a slow start it does begin to manifest its into an interesting journey about a woman's determination to protect her children whilst also finding out who killed her husband. It's definitely worth a look.

In a tough neighborhood, Sarah (Sarah Bolger) is a struggling single mom with two young kids. Her husband was brutally murdered and the police don't care. A man suddenly barges into her home. He's a drug dealer who had just stolen a stash from a ruthless drug lord. Sarah is relieved when he leaves but he keeps coming back. He's using her home as a stash house.

Bolger is great. The story is well constructed. There is some good reality to the situation. Other than a couple of minor issues, this is a great drama. I would definitely do the thing in the tub and not in that room. It would be easier to do the cleanup. I love all the little bread crumbs the story lays out. It took me a while to figure out what the policewoman meant at the beginning. I was a little slow but the movie is able to keep pulling me along. The director does need more seasoning to amp up his action work and the thriller aspect of the movie. There is still good tension due to Bolger's acting and the story. This is great.
