Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Kirpianuscus the flowers around the presence of people. the people. in ordinary gesture and words and habits. like far silhouettes. a film of states. about errors, dreams, illusions, answers. a young woman. and her boyfriend. an old man. and the life as a large plain who becomes more and more strange. not the story, so simple, not the performances, inspired sketches, maybe not the look of the young woman but the emotion after the end of it defines "Amador". and this is all. a story about flowers and about people as silhouettes.

movie reviews Everyone needs money. Marcela a South American immigrant living in Spain is pregnant--her hustling husband wants to set up a flower store and needs to make payments on a refrigerator--the children of Almador need his pension to complete their new house. A 50s something prostitute visits Almador once a week for 30 Euros.The source of the money is the pension of Almador,a bed ridden sick elderly man, who Marcela is hired to take care of.He dies. How do you keep the money coming in at least in the short run?The actress who does Marcela is great...just perfect but so is the prostitute. There are attempts at comedy but somehow they don't work very well since you have in your mind the whole time of how the cadaver must look and smell--not something that puts you in a mood to laugh.Is it possible for a film noir to attempt humor that is what this movie does.Beautifully filmed and acted and different. There are lots of things you can read into it too....wilted flowers...the refrigerator making a noise when the door is open....the rotting cadaver all of it ties together.RECOMMEND

Armand about solitude, flowers, life sense, hope as heart of interior fight. a young woman, an old man, a church,a Thursday special secret cure,friend a house. and slices , like the clouds, of silence. nothing else. all - as a puzzle. or just a delicate - profound parable, drawing of gestures and thinks, dream of a next existence. in fact, it is only picture of a state of mind. seed. ladder. all - as skin and respiration for magnificent , touching, powerful beauty.it is a kind of confession. collection of letters, speech, photo crumbs. testimony. about small elementary things. and, maybe, cloth for fairy tale. about a Cinderella for who the future is the perfect Charming Prince.

evening1 A surprising film about the treasures that can result from serendipitous meetings. Marcela needs some money to pay for a refrigerator. Little does she know that the dying man she gets paid to befriend will help her find some life-changing direction. Severely depressed, and impregnated by an untrustworthy, unimaginative man, Marcella is the heart of this film. She is played amazingly by Peruvian-born Magaly Solier. This story combines elements of the immigrant tale and horror and yet manages to be deeply and psychologically knowing. My only quibble is that Amador, played compellingly by Celso Bugallo, dies way too early. Allowing him to survive a little longer, uttering more of his thought-provoking words, could only have enhanced this film. "Amador"'s ending soars.(A few parting realizations from Marcella could possibly help us all: "You think you want to be with someone. But what you actually want is not to be alone. And so then when you find someone, it's the same thing. You're still alone.")
