This movie was quite interesting until right after the murder scene, and when Cruz threw the guy in the cooler. It appeared the movie was going to head in the direction of an interesting murder mystery...why did she do it and would she get caught?? Then it took a strange course about family relationships that I personally found very dull. Kinda like Desperate Housewives for the nursing home set. Penelope Cruz has never looked more gorgeous, and I don't think I ever appreciated what a terrific actress she is. She is special. All the performances were excellent although I found the characters, ex Penelope, fairly unlikeable. Tough to stay awake in this movie for me, I kept watching myself watching the clock for the ending which was OK, but not worth the wait. I simply found the relationships between the family members very uninteresting.
score 2/10
