    The story of a little girl affected by a terminal cancer and surrounded by her family, who belongs to Opus Dei. Based on a real story. Touching, although polemic because its vision aboout Opus Dei. The film achieved the Spanish Academy Award to Best Movie in 2009.

    Personal opini...( read more)on: it´s a story of stolen lives. I like, in the end, when all a story happens in front of everybody, but only she realizes. Finally, Fesser tells us the story of a child, with its own beliefs and important values, despite everything which is around, and the suffering of every member of the family in front of this situation, increased by the religious situation of the family. Fesser employs fantasy in a very personal and emotive way.

    Topic a bit too repetitive, but very well performed. I am quite a fan of spanish movies. Then it is a subject that really touched me.

    La gran triunfadora de los goya de este año no me ha decepcionado. Aún no entiendo cómo se les ocurrió mandar para la carrera de los Oscars a "Los girasoles ciegos" en vez de esta película. A mí el cine español me desconcierta. La gran mayoría de películas, para mi gusto son pare...( read more)cidas a esas series españolas que hay en nuestra tele, pero ampliadas. No veo nada que innove realmente. Pero de vez en cuando, si que es cierto que aparecen películas distintas, es el caso de "Camino", y lo más extraño que una película tan buena tenga de director al mismo que hizo ?El milagro de P.Tinto?, con la cual me reí bastante, pero que no tenía más que eso.

    Camino está basada libremente en la historia de una niña, la cual está terriblemente enferma y pertenece al Opus Dei, el cuál hará de la desgracia de ésta una bendición. El film está lleno de personajes mezquinos y de algunos de gran ternura como el padre. Obviamente las críticas contra el Opus Dei son muy duras, y si bien es cierto que no todos los integrantes de esta congregación religiosa son tan estrictos como aparecen en la película, muchos de ellos sí que lo son.

    Lo que más me gusta del film es que, siguiendo los pasos del "Laberinto del Fauno", crea una fábula, para suavizar el duro tema de la muerte. Esta fábula me parece que está realizada con gran acierto y nos puede enseñar que no todo es lo que parece.

    Hoy estoy espeso, pero no os dejeis llevar por mi "espesor" y ved esta película, que a muchos les hará soltar una lágrima y que es posiblemente una de las 5 mejores películas de la década del cine español.

    Enhorabuena Javier Fesser, no entiendo las críticas tan duras a tu película, aunque igual vienen de alguno que se siente retratado por tu película, ya sabes lo que se dice por ahí: "Quien se pica, ajos come".

    Had I earned a popcorn for each time they mentioned the word GOD, I could easily open the biggest Popcorn shop in the world. Very bad acting and the story is very badly unfold.
