Featured reviews
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.
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.
Emotional, without drama. She was brave and the movie made me think about acceptance of the inevitable. Argentina has a lot of greats movies.
I expected something more sentimental. It is emotional, but also funny and surprisingly real. A very good film.
IMO movie's objective was to make a very human film, of such a heartbreaking story with many life lessons. just hearing the plot can make people emotional. in terms of cinema it is well made. at last, a movie hard to watch without sobbing from start to end.
