Volver (2006)

I thought this was a good film. The story was fantastic and kept my attention the whole way through. The cinematography was also strong with good composition and good use of colours. The acting was alright too. I don't see what the fuss over Penelope Cruz is. She's a so-so actor, with a really nice body, but people lavish her with praise, why? Because she's Spanish? lame.
There's a plot motif that happens toward the end that i like, borrowing heavily from Chinatown, if you know what I mean?
This film is worth seeing for the drama that occurs between the family members. They act like a real family acts, close to each other, but in a way so close that they lie about some of the most important events in their lives, true to life, I'd say.
