Take My Eyes (2003)
7/10
Human drama
8 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
With a straight story, director Bollaín let us see what's behind closed doors in jealous, but she does it in great objective form (but not slight) that pulls us in a sick relationship between torturer and victim, doing it with great direction, camera work, plot and character study. The film goes deep, Bollaín is playing with fire but she doesn't get burned because she knows what she's doing and gives a portrait of violence without being explicit, and without pointing her finger give exposure to a common problem between couples. Te doy mis ojos (I give you my eyes) is a brilliant piece of drama, heartful but not manipulative, well structured and charged with emotions, enhanced by Marull and Tosar, whose along with Bollaín, are simply wonderful.
