Las acacias

A small and amazingly rich movie, but its 85 minutes passed as if they were no time at all, and I immediately wanted to see it again, so much did it tap into the experience of being alive in the moment.

A swelling meditation on wounded hearts and rekindled hopes.

A study in simplicity, perhaps too much so.

There's such wisdom, though, in the way it cumulatively touches our hearts, and the performers seem to live out their roles in a way that almost goes beyond acting. Once it reels you in, this is absolutely captivating.
