    Mesmerising naturalism

    From its first moments I was absolutely captivated by this film. The script, direction and acting are so superb and natural I almost felt like I was watching a documentary based on one of the writer's autobiographies. Every complex detail followed the logic of the story and the very three-dimensional, nuanced characters so much that I wondered how the writers had captured this story so perfectly.

    For me the film centred largely centred around the incredibly difficult love-hate relationship between the protagonist (Silvia) and her elderly mother (Leticia). The relationship was so relatable and nuanced, from the harsh words the two shared with each other to the absolute tenderness with which Silvia cared for her mother when she was particularly vulnerable. The other relationships, from mother-to-son, best friends, romantic and sisters, were all equally wonderfully captured.

    The actors are each perfect for their roles, with Carolina Sanín as Silvia, conveying the weariness through which she moves through her guilt, resentment, joy, self-righteousness, and more tender moments. Leticia Goméz, as Leticia, is agonisingly perfect as the frustrating elderly mother, who loves her grandson, and pushes both non-traditionalism and traditional roles on her eldest daughter, and who makes life challenging for her daughters by resisting treatment for her lung cancer. How the director got the performance from seemingly five-year old Antonio Martinez, I'm not sure. Antonio is a loving son and grandson with a tiny attention span, interested only in what he sees as relevant to him. In other words, he's a perfectly portrayed five-year old. The supporting actors also play their parts flawlessly.

    I was particularly taken by the telling fragments the film provided, in which it avoided clumsy exposition with a single glance, line of dialogue or sequence of actions that provided years worth of background. To me, this requires particular skill in the writing and direction. I was told that this film was good, but it was exceptional.

    Well made but not especially memorable.

    "Litigante" is sort of like a reworking of "Terms of Endearment". However, instead of a fake happy Hollywood ending (which never felt true to me when I saw it), the film goes for realism. The story is about a dying mother in Columbia and her daughter who constantly argues with her about just about everything. By the end of the story, the mother dies and the daughter seems to have learned nothing about her mother or herself. Realistic? Yes....but not especially enjoyable to watch...especially since I had a hard time connecting with the characters or caring about them. I think, in the end, I wanted realism BUT something more.

    Sad to see

    Maybe it's a tipical Colombian family, but the story never connects to a purpose and individual characters lost their mining.

    At the end, the public don't understand the main purpose of the film and is just another sad and bad story.

    Completely boring.

    There is not story. Yeah you will see a "normal" life in Bogotá. The movie it's absolutely boring slow. And there are no connections in the events.

    *The main actress is terrible bad*. I watched in a festival in Berlin since it was the opening film. Otherwise I wouldn't watch it.

    There are much better stories. And much better picture of the life in Colombia.

    Gratuitious and repetitive child nude... bordering the illegal

    It is disturbing to watch. At a moment when nothing inside or outside the plot and in three occasions a fully naked boy is shown fully nude... Why these mentally disturbed team allowed this to be shown and distributed?
