Skeleton of Mrs. Morales
Skeleton of Mrs. Morales (1960)
9/10
Excellent acting, cinematography
29 November 2020
I've seen quite a few cheezeball Mexican dramas. This is NOT one of those - it is a fine ensemble performance, with very high technical values. Most of the acting is top-notch. Some great 'Hitchcockian' camera angles and lighting- especially close-ups.

If I were to criticize this film mildly, it's that it views like a stage play. Perhaps it started this way? Anyway, I really enjoyed it thoroughly.

For a straight biographical film - captivating.
27 July 2018
The film radiates from the core of her being - pinpoint-focused on human equality & devotion to her work. From that radiates an incredible life story of her long marriage & vignettes from family, colleagues, adversaries & friends. I anticipated a dry talking-heads documentary, and got so, so much more. Great film.

WTF is it with British Film?
15 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This could have been an excellent film; it had plenty of good acting, and the farce of having Cantona appear as a philosophical life coach was great (he did a fine job).

But the script, otherwise, was SO canned, so superficial, so predictable, like so much that is on British TV and film. There was no real flow to the film, just a lot of jerking around. Throwing in dog-food adverts occasionally would have helped.

The final 15 minutes, as commented earlier, is totally pasted-on crap, the scene at the mobster's house, the happy reunion with photos & suede shoes. Barf.

4/10 is generous here. This was really garbage.
