Review of Broken Embraces (2009) by Julie K — 11 Apr 2010

Time to pull out all the stops. Yes you can quibble with small details but taken as a whole this is one of the best movies to come out in the past few years. After you get over the basic plot and the incredible acting (and beauty) of Penelope Cruz, you see layers upon layers of the story. The depth that relationships are explored between men and women and between son and father is breathtaking.

There are probably better movies but I'm having a hard time thinking of any right now.
