This film has made my day! It's one of those movies where you don't really have any expectations, other than just being entertained for 120 minutes or so - and then they blow you away!
It's a heartwarming story, which I'm sure has been portrayed many times and in many ways, but I don't think ever as brilliantly as in this film. It goes way beyond entertainment. It makes you reflect on your own whole life.
Héctor Alterio's acting is sheer perfection. Hardly ever have I seen an actor so convincing. When he looks at his wife, stricken by Alzheimer's, with his warm smile and his eyes glistening, not for a second did I think he was acting, as I felt he really did mean it. The love being conveyed by him seemed so genuine, and it touched my heart to the very core.
This film is a true gem!
