Il quaderno di Tomy

Emotional, without drama. She was brave and the movie made me think about acceptance of the inevitable. Argentina has a lot of greats movies.

What a cute and sad movie, we already know that the dramatic load will be very heavy, and that cute kid won my heart, Julian Sorin, I didn't cry as much as I imagined, maybe because I already knew the outcome, a fun, melancholic and even somber development, pain of loss, it is the worst pain ... But what hurts the most is knowing that it was based on the life and work of Marie Velazquez, beautiful....

An Argentine film based on real events. It is about a woman with terminal Cancer who writes a notebook of memories for her son. Quality. Entertaining It focuses more on the disease than on the writing of the notebook. It feels more like a sales hook for a book than a movie that seeks to expose the making of the notebook. He handles the subject of Euthanasia in an interesting way, although he is not the best. Performances are fine. Short-lived. With moments that shake and other happy ones. It is not to cry out loud, since it does not succeed because those sequences are very linear. Narrated in the first person mostly. An option to watch on Netflix.

Good movie, great actors and actresses. Give it a chance. The movie is real and sad but not excessively dramatic. No hollywood sugarcoat, it is how it is. Beautiful story I wanted to call my loved ones after watching. Definetely woth a watch. If you are an easy cryer, this is a tearjerker for sure.

When I heard the real story and when I saw what the film was being made, I knew that it was a story that deserved to be brought to the screen ... but there were risks that everything would be done with cheap shots.

Luckily, they had the right director and cast... and they made a great movie, just the right length... without going too long.

It is just as the director said in an interview: it is moving (without resorting to easy tears, it is all natural), but also funny (without being exaggerated). It is like life. Sometimes light, sometimes intense, and deeply dramatic.

We see Valeria totally committed to the role, and she does it with great respect. They are all barbarous, even - dare I say - Lamothe. I know he's made of wood acting, but here he convinced me as Maria's partner, who was always by his side.
