Elisa e Marcela

Beautiful photograpy, wonderful story... How could you not love this movie ?! This is one of the most beautifull I have ever seen.

Beautiful story , marvellously done. Brave and sensual at the same time. Captures the kindness and fear of people of the time. Loved the cinematography.

I wasn't expecting an arthouse film but a traditional narrative, and so was pleasantly surprised. The formal critic reviews I read beforehand, were overly harsh methinx. Using contemporary film-making styles with dramatic dialogue, scenes of conflict, characterisatiion development etc to drive a plot, would not have enhanced it in my view. While the critics were "eye rolling" and complaining of how slow it was moving, i was walking through an art gallery, lingering on moments captured beautifully in the B&W landscape.

It is a simple tale told with minimal dialogue primarily through imagery, with beauty, poignancy, grief, the playful innocence of the girls they once were, the elemental power of giving birth, among other things. The archetype images of the first Goddess in her aspects of Maiden, Mother, Crone across the three acts. The erotic scenes so pooh-poohed by the critics were also staged with poetic metaphors of the Feminine spiritual principle of Nature.

I don't get why it has got so many bad reviews by critics. It's an overall good movie. Yes, it doesn't have the best script of all time neither has the best side actors, but it has two good protagonist that do a pretty good acting and has beautiful scenes where it shines. Definitely its strongest part is the first half of the film, where it focuses in the emotion between them, the second half just lack of intensity and lost some of the power of the first, but still i think is worth watching, and an overall good and beautiful movie.

Loved it.

Can't understand the low rating by one person moaning about the film being dubbed. Turn off the dubbing then ? It's really that simple . . .

I enjoyed it and would recommend . .
