(OK) Loach in a thesis film, everything, even the most documenary aspects, is puto to reinforce the thesis of psycosis caused by milieu and unsufferable parents and a wrong professional approach (therés even the reunon in wich autorities cancel the correct human approach favoring the electroshocks)

(OK) Great melodrama, familiar pariarchal saga with a conformist suffering man in the middle. The vicious ones that obbeys the patrich and the rebels are better than the conforsmist one, that, in th eclimax, leaves his wike to die in labor, outisde the city walls for attending tha patriarch funeral...

(OK) The street dance scene, a flase climax in the middle of the film, retains its force, its 80s iconicity; but the rest of the film is cheaper. What flows is the force, the tone, the style of it , full of unknown characters...

(OK) La eficacia de la popular pieza, está allí, a la que apenas se le suma, el balo y las escaleras; pero la multipsicosis orquestada por el falso doctor, tiene una vena cursi, sin locura, sin frenesí...

(OK) Gets better on earth, but the square hell/heaven/limbo stuff, weighes too much on the plot, as wieghes the duality of characters, the cat and the man....

(OK) Delicia de narración lineal entendiendo que cada flashback es un relato de un personaje a otro, que termina refiriendo un próximo encuentro con alguien que le contará un secreto. Pudo ser suficiente esa pureza, pero hay detalles bizarros, fantasías de época (le criado y sus saltitos, los desmayos súbitos) , e intrigas que se devela ante ojos extraños como los nuestros.

(OK) Five uneasy pieces with easy violent solutions, including suicide. Jia is classic and an action director in a way, because there's is some intimist shared between non loving characters...

(NX) Tamizada por todos los constreñimientos del taller, mirada y producción con mcuhas manos. El B/N, la ambientación histórica que no aporta al drama de una mafia que vive del sistema no de la coyuntura, el periodista de una gravedad extrema que apaga mucho, el folclor, el set rebuscado en lugar de la ciudad reencontrada...

(OK) The ending and all the proceedings are so happy (we have the eternity for us, no, we have better than that, ¡two days¡), as Guitry having what he wants...

(NX) Kind of tv documentary femenist approach on motherhood and loss and stereotype on what a woman must feel and deal with it; but there are fine details on directing and writing (the unfinished bridge constructed by the husband, the long violent beginning in labor)...
