Telarañas del alma

Wow Was very pleasantly surprised by this film. It was a heavy subject with just the right amount of levity to be funny yet still retain the gravity of the subject. My wife's mother suffers from mental illness and if you've ever known someone who truly suffers you'll know Lili Taylor's performance is phenomenal and extremely convincingly played. Everything flowed together very well (plot and character development, beat and the killer soundtrack). The real gem here was Stefania's performance, she is a rising star and her chemistry with Lili was off the chart. In summary, a smart, touching and illuminating dramedy; definitely worth a watch.

Started off slow but it build up into an incredible movie of everything you can expect when forced to cope with a mentally ill patient. I think both actresses did amazingly well and the mother was so convincing I forgot she was actually acting. I felt almost all kinds of emotions just watching this one, from laughing to anger to frustration to hopelessness to teary. Good one there.

'Paper Spiders' is as wonderfully-acted as it is cleverly handled. Lili Taylor and Stefania Owen are excellent in this tragic story about a girl trying to save her mentally ill mom at all costs. The dialogue is really funny at times, and also quite realistic It is relevant to show the problems that people face which aren't often discussed, and when they are in Hollywood films they are done in a more contrived way, where as Paper Spiders hits paranoia head on in a very realistic, emotional way. This is real life, and this movie proves to be a true success.

This movie makes us understand delusion disorder, the mental illness can screw people life totally, especially the ones surround them. It's nothing dramatic and kinda sad the choice of the daughter. Mental health is really important.

This is not just a film about mental illness, it's a film about life, love and acceptance. It's about how you can not always change the things you want and must accept your loved ones, who are often far from perfect. A real lesson in compassion. The characters are portrayed in such a realistic way. Their riveting performances and the story itself makes you forget that you are watching a screen. This film will leave you thinking long after it's over. A must see!
