A Partilha is a great film, bringing out great performances from four amazing actresses, in special Andréa Beltrão and Lilia Cabral. It was refreshing to see such a well written story in such a familiar environment. If you're in the mood for great laughs, this is the one.

I just returned from the cinema. Wow! I'm trying to write about the movie but I am obligated to talk this excelent casting. Juliette Binoche; that woman is amazing, her mere expressions give such life to the character that no words need to be said. Judi Dench also appeared brilliantly et la petit Victoire Thivisol shows just what the future generation of French actors is all about (she was excelent in Ponette - 1996). Johny Depp was a good choice for the part, even though I did not like how the marketing exploited on his image (because he's not THAT relevant in the film). Alfred Molina was true to the part and I must say I was quite surprised at what actress Lena Olin pulled through thru her supporting role (worth an Oscar nomination in my oppinion).

That breath taking scenery could have been more exploited, specially the narrow streets of the pitoresque village. Still, the storyline was very well elaborate and entertaining. This is my new favourite movie for the month.
