No la he visto, pero como este verano he estado en casa del director dos semanas, le pongo 5 y también porque me cae muy bien y porque mis padres dicen que la película es buena.
I started watching this and just couldn't stay with it. It is extremely slow and low budget. This is the second time i have tried watching this movie and I am done.
A collection of nine different vignettes, stories and lives of nine distinct women, by Colombian writer-director and short-story expert Rodrigo García (son of Gabriel García Márquez). An anthology about death and loss as well as a tribute to women. Unusually tender, perceptive character study sustained by stellar performances from a who's who of talented (and many underused) actresses. A fine, beautiful and undervalued film.
No entiendo como tienes tres estrellas, cuando peliculas peores llegan a tener mas, si esta pelicula es realmente una belleza. Todas las historias, de la primera a la ultima, te mantienen activo y dentro de cada una. Aunque siento que al final, la ultima historia, llega a ser un poco cansada como en Paris, Te Amo. Es linda y Dakota lo hace increible, pero llega a ser la mas indiferente... quizas la menos dramatica, pero muy sentimental. Me encanto, directo a mis favoritas.
The stories are very well-written and realistic even though they are only loosely related to each other and there are only a few characters connected to each other. The actresses and actors are great, and I love most of the stories particularly the stories of Samantha, Sonia, Ruth and Maggie.
Nine stories about nine different women.
I just thought that all nine stories should have any connection to each other by any action or happening but apart from a few characters who were connected, all nine stories were unconnected.
The scene with Jason Isaacs & Robin Wright Penn touched me most.
If you like short movies, this piece of work is for you!
If anything, Meh. Was impressed with 'Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her', but the vignettes didn't connect or interlock as well as they did in the latter. Spent a lot of time head scratching, wondering if the segments were in order or out of order, and the ending left me miffed. Didn't feel like there was any resolution. While I'm up for open ended movies, this one was unsatisfying and left an overall bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps it's a movie that needs to be watched again in order to receive that...but it's not one I'd be willing to sit through again.
Women are amazing. lol I liked this more than I thought I would. It's 9 short, approx. 10 min films about moments in the lives of 9 women. Some are better than others. The ones that stood out to me: Robin Right (sp?) Penn running into a former lover at a supermarket, Sissy Spasek contimplating an affair, Lisa Gay Hamilton working up the nerve to confront her father on his child abuse. Also, there's a quietly sad Holly Hunter trapped in a relationship with a jerk, Amy Brenerman attending her ex husband's wife's funeral, and Kathy Baker about to have a mysectomy. (obviously sp.) The three least compelling: Glen Close and Dakota Fanning visiting a cemetary, some actress at prison, and the dumb girl from Mean Girls talking to her parents. They all add to the film, but they were the least interesting for me. Also, all films are one continuous shot.
I'm still a bit fuzzy on some of the connections, but this was phenomenal.. Very brief glimpses into the lives of complete strangers.. (who are all connected in some way).. I wasn't aware that Molly Parker was in this when I rented it.. so, bonus.. Everyone was great though..
you get to share in about ten minutes of nine different women's lives. the struggles, the joy, honesty, lies, sadness, anger, doubt and desperation. nine lives has a remarkable and very full cast. it's an emotional movie that just ends. you see moments of their lives and that's it, no happy endings or closures. just like real life.
"....pulling weeds, pickin' stones, we are made from dreams and bones...."
this is amovie of different women at diferent times. theyre all a lil dramatic but its really real. i think some of it is sometimes not realitsc thogh.
Questao de Vida é um filme sensível, que têm como objetivo refletir e levar a emoção. Conta a história de 9 mulheres, em uma espécie de curta-metragens ,que de alguma forma se entrelaçam. Algumas são bastante interessantes como a do supermercado e a da Kathy Baker, porém outras são dispensáveis. Por isso, o filme vai perdendo o fôlego inicial e torna-se cansativo. O longa é bastante simples e foca nas relações humanas, mas não traz nada de extraordinário.
bulup ,bulup, bulup!!! jajaja only who they who watched the movie w/ me know the meaning of bulup, bulup!!! I thought this was going to be like that kick ass movie with Cher and Demi Moore called "If the walls could talk?" or something like that... but no this one sucked!!
Nine stories of nine different women. Sometimes slightly connected, sometimes not. Each vignette is filmed with a lot of freedom given to the actors. Much of the dialogue was ad libbed and the people felt totally real to me. Not contrived at all; simply natural.
But even more interestingly, each 10-12 minute scene is completely un-cut. They are each one long shot. That is not easy to do.
Not the most entertaining movie in the world, but interesting to watch these actors ad lib; including little Dakota Fanning and the rest of this great cast as they tell nine stories about the foundations and walls of relationships and the uncomfortable and unescapable situations we find ourselves in.
Sad, depressing stuff. But amazing all around, in both writing and acting. Nine women and nine short movies looking at a ten-minute moment in their lives.
It's a deep movie, and when you see it you really need to think and analyze. Don't get it if you're looking for a breezy movie that needs no concentration.
