Hermosa! Tan sutil y poderosa a la vez. Benito Zambrano utiliza temas como la vejez, que pueden ser tan fácilmente explotados, y los trabaja con tanto tacto, que logra que conectes con esa soledad aguda son recurrir a sentimentalismo alguno. Admiro mucho como Zambrano tomó una historia completamente ordinaria y la convirtió en una maravillosa reflexión sobre la vida y la familia, con la cual es imposible no empatizar.

Solas, an offering from Spain, is a slow and meditative film about despair, abuse, anger, loneliness, redemption, and, perhaps most importantly, the enduring bond between a mother and daughter. It's not always a pleasure to watch based on the subject matter, but it turns out to be a rewarding experience. When a mother temporarily moves in with her troubled daughter, emotions are laid bare as they come to terms with their shared past and look to salvage a damaged relationship. Despite far too many extreme close-ups, it is a beautifully acted and well-written family drama that will resonate long after it's been viewed, filled with truth and honesty and an overriding sense that any relationship is salvageable if the parties involved are willing to participate in the resolution.
