Chile recently became known in the Sundance Film Festival because a film of this country won the Best Film Award. However, to criticize the lack of culture of this long stretch of land in the film industry, since it is well known throughout the world the importance of this festival in the independent film market. "She was" two years ago won the Audience Award and Best Screenplay Award from the American competition, thus positioning itself in the eye of the distributors of the globe. Despite this, we had to wait two years before the debut James C. Strouse landed at local venues so that the public can appreciate why John Cusack was applauded standing in various international exhibitions.

With the music of Clint Eastwood film shifts between the concise and formed, finding edges of emotion that can not reach a successful conclusion by the lack of character that the play presents. While Cusack creates a character who is greatly complex living communication problem, the rest of the characters does not exert a role in the plot to build a direct line of communication with the viewer. Thus the emotion that is formed is not capable of moving as it should, considering that original screenplay based on a real idea has all the features to do so.

The loss of a mother is always a subject that moves. In fact, I can personally say that one of the most terrible feelings I had in my short life is waking up after having had the bad dream that my mother died. Thus, the issue is always latent in the history of humanity - and even more so when put in the context of war - with the same power and the complicated task of informing those who still belong to the living world . How is this done? What is the best way to tell a son or daughter that her mother just after forever? The problem is that word always . The storm that has just absoluteness by rational minds abrasion factors, falling into the complex situation of helplessness.

perspective lines that the director proposes to make the plot a little boring with a known end from the beginning that only has the excitement of waiting. Although one must appreciate that with a small ensemble cast manages to maintain tension without falling into the yawning easy, the film leaves a little taste accompanied by not taking advantage of a good idea. New Feature Strouse is apparently more potent than reflecting work that is learned making movies and trying to "The Winning Season" that comedy could be the gender which should be spent.

Rating: 4 / 7
