Well, it didn't quite reach "The Return" status for me

possibly because I was able to relate to that more fully.

That said, it was a damn good film and not what I expected based on the trailer (in that the old man was a much more sympathetic character then the trailer made it seem).

I don't know that there is so much to say as the movie itself says the most when it's not saying anything (their actions and expressions vs. their words). I love how he lets each environment and each character speak for themselves simply by being.

And when the two worlds meet (Elena's family in her home) the poor fit of them being in that place is visceral.

Tremendous performances. Every one of them better than what usually wins awards in this country. The daughter stood out for me... i knew a woman like that and despite the cultural and language differences it was a perfect portrayal.

Thanks for the tip. It was nice to get that absorbed in a film... hasn't happened for a while.
