Sólo mía

If Javier Balaguer wanted to make a denunciation of ill-treatment against women he should've filmed a documentary instead of this movie full of clichés, stereotypes, unreal dialogs and the awful performances of Paz Vega and Sergi Lopez. I didn't expect much of Vega, she's so bad -although no one seems to notice- but I've always liked Sergi Lopez and I must admit that his work in "Sólo Mía" leaves a lot to be desire. Maybe he was influenced -in a bad Way- by Paz, or maybe Javier Balaguer has not the faintest idea about actors direction.

So if you wanna see a decent movie about ill-treatment you'd better go and see Icíar Bollaín's "Te Doy Mis Ojos". That's a serious movie, and with top quality actors.

*My rate: 3/10

This is a decent film about domestic abuse with the final conclusion that you don't hit the ones you love. Period. There is also a fair amount of social commentary concerning the weak laws that protect abused women from their husbands, especially when a child is involved.

What is scary is that people still think that it is OK for a husband to beat his wife in this day and age. That is not love. The previous comment on this page mentioned that the film showed the husband to be completely at fault. He is. She smokes while she is pregnant. That is a terrible thing to do, but it does not warrant how he beats her, kicks her while she is on the ground, gives her black eyes and slams her head into the cupboards.

Normally I would say that this film is sad, but trite. However after seeing the post before mine, perhaps much of the world hasn't yet figured out that domestic abuse can never be justified. You don't hit the ones you love.

What a disappointing movie! It tries very hard to convey a message and certain emotions but fails to do just so. It leaves me empty and frustrated at the end (thank god it ends). This film is no-doubtingly a farce comparing to many outstanding Spanish movies that actually have some depth. The leading actor's acting is acceptable but the same cannot be said about the leading actress although at some point my heart wants to go out for her.

She plays an innocent young woman who's not particularly highly educated. However, her acting constantly reminds me of the fact that I am watching a staged show instead of a poignant drama of domestic abuse in real life.

I have already watched it 4 times and i am sure i will watch it another many... After watching Sergi Lopez in numerous movies, i personally think he is truly gifted and persuasive... and many times the bad guy !!! For Paz Vega not much to say... i have already watched 7 to 8 of her movies and i am very impressed... the movie points out a lot of meanings and strong, powerful feelings. It is not another female abuse movie... a powerful movie with suspense, and great performances by Paz Vega, Sergi Lopez, Elvira Minguez and Alberto Jimenez. great work!!! PLus amazing songs by Clara Montes. It is definitely worth seeing despite the comments that do not suggest so.

I went to Spain last week with my family for a wedding. I was suggested to buy "Te doy mis ojos" due to recommendations and critics. My dad was listening. So we went for it. While I was in another part of the store taking a look, my father came with this movie. "This is it", said my dad. I accepted to buy it because Sergi Lopez was in it. Thank god he played a very difficult character with his experience in acting. So, he did not let me down. The movie did. I will try to be brief to make my point here. Sergi played Joaquin a man who beats his beautiful wife Angela (Paz Vega). What I did not like is that the movie shows that he is the only one guilty, like her friend Andrea (Elvira Minguez) said. I mean, she was going to have a baby and she lightened a smoke. That is silly after a warning of him. The characters played both like children. The difference was that Joaquin went insane or any other adjective you wanna add. I think that some parts were not very intense, hard and the story demanded. Performances were pretty good with the best on Elvira Minguez and Alberto Jimenez (Andrea and his husband). My rating: 4.5 out of 10. Andres.
