No other film like this

Title says it all, my review for a 10 is because I have never seen any fim like this that shows you humanity is its worst and prime, does not matter about the CGI behind the baby, the acting is on par, foreign films is the next industry, look forward after watching this and do not look back to Hollywood(which is trash super-hero movies lately). what i do not understand is why the 3 Actresses that play Eva in this film did not get a nomination for their role nor an award.... saddens me deeply

No matter the condition with which you were born

I do not consider myself an expert to criticize a work like a movie, where so many people work, but if I am able to see or understand the message that is wanted to give the work and in this story, the message is simple, "No matter the condition with which you were born, it is not an excuse to dream and achieve something great "I know it is not easy, society is the factor that most debilitates a person, and we all know, but if someone manages to overcome those immense mountains, there will be nobody who can collapse it.

Very interesting and moving story

I saw the dubbed English version on Netflix, I would rather see the original language version. But still the story is beautiful as is the sets and the colours.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do a reboot of this movie in the US.

Wonderfully written and filmed

A well done movie that allows you to understand the development of a character and it shows a different take on how society views you if you're different. The viewer goes through the emotions of the characters and you can understand and empathise to each one of them.
