    Ana Torrent is downright creepy, but in a good, sympathetic way.

    Really amazing film that introduces itself into the mind of a disturbed child. Ana makes a great performance as the disturbed child, and is always great to see Geraldine Chaplin in these kind of movies. A must see of the Spanish cinema.

    I know this film achieves so many more wonderful things, but right now I just can't stop thinking about Ana Torrent, without a doubt the best child actress ever. She looks just like a child, with her constantly expressionless face, but if you look just close enough in her eyes yo...( read more)u'll find the torment and confusion her character is always in.

    It's pretty good. Good performances, well made script and an idea that can make actually think about life. It has drama, it has drama, it has mysterious moments, all of then well connected and creating a very well made movie.

    A less than fond memory of childhood. A young girl finds her own way to deal with the world and the people around her. Her simplistic view of the world causes her to do things that she can not understand the gravity of. She is neither demon nor angel, just a child trying to inter...( read more)pret a world she can not understand.

    Ana Torrent returns to play yet another symbol of confused childhood.

    I have to say, this was a very dark and gloomy film, a film that talks about the unknown future, a family who lost their parents and now, have to somehow get used to or start getting used to this new order. It's quite disturbing at times, a girl who don't see eye to eye on things...( read more) and holds her ground, sort of imbued with a solitary independence of her own. The acting and also, especially, the music is outstanding here.

    The dark cousin of The Spirit of the Beehive. While it has similar themes, allegory, and even the same lead, Cria instead uses the memories and imagination of the protagonist to get into her head and show the past traumas she faced ala Buñuel. Another thing that separates it fr...( read more)om the Spirit of the Beehive is that it's focused more on the uncertain future of Spaniards as Franco is on his deathbed. I think Ana Torrent is even better in this film than The Spirit of the Beehive, there is something that's really fucked up about her character. If there is a flaw to this film, it's that it's sometimes told from the unnecessary perspective of Ana as an adult, which I think detracts slightly from the story. Overall a fascinating and profoundly disturbing film.

    Good work of direction of Saura

    disturbing movie, nice script, the kind of spanish movie Almodovar should watch to perhaps learn something about filmmaking
