Teias da Alma

'Paper Spiders' is as wonderfully-acted as it is cleverly handled. Lili Taylor and Stefania Owen are excellent in this tragic story about a girl trying to save her mentally ill mom at all costs. The dialogue is really funny at times, and also quite realistic It is relevant to show the problems that people face which aren't often discussed, and when they are in Hollywood films they are done in a more contrived way, where as Paper Spiders hits paranoia head on in a very realistic, emotional way. This is real life, and this movie proves to be a true success.
