The Past

I saw this movie with low expectations and was not disappointed. Its so bad that it is actually funny in a very cringe worthy way.

Gael is absolutely terrible, I mean he just cannot act, period. He should give up now, as acting is clearly not his thing.. His co-stars are about the same caliber, i'm sure my 5 year old cousin could do a better job than all of them! The director should be ashamed to have put his name on something so ridiculous.. Somehow I don't think an Oscar is on the cards for this guy.

I have never written a comment on IMDb, but this movie was so bad I felt compelled to do so.

If you get the chance to see this film, don't 0/10 if there was a 0

First of all, I have to say Analia Couceyro is an incredibly beautiful woman! I'm not sure why some of the reviews are so negative. As far as making women look bad, it makes men look bad too. Because we can all be cruel sometimes and love can make you do crazy things. Anyway, great story and an outstanding cast. Well worth watching.

I just saw this film at the Toronto Film Festival. The director and Gael Garcia Bernal were both there (which was quite a thrill).

I don't want to give too much away about the plot, but essentially this film looks at the different ways men and women react to a breakup. It was very interesting, well acted and profound and I enjoyed it thoroughly until about halfway through. Unfortunately, the last part really bothered me and took me from rating it at an 8 or 9 to a 6.

As a woman, I did see myself - to a point- in the first part. I also gained a better understanding on why some men react to a relationship's end as they do. Unfortunately, the final half of the film made some deeply disturbing generalizations about women and their emotional stability, and I was left perturbed. It's one thing to give certain attributes to a character; It's another when an entire gender is implicated.

Nonetheless, the performances are all marvelous. See it - but prepare to have a conversation about it after wards!

I went to watch the movie last week and I really enjoyed it. It shows how men and women feel a separation after it's done and how difficult it's for them to continue with their lives... Everybody loves, that's cool! The movie let you see how big and obsessive a feeling can get, it talks about trust, love, personal search, the permanence of love in time, growing up, sex and almost brotherhood. The actors were quite good, perhaps the characters were difficult to recreate but I liked the way the did it... I didn't know Ana and when I saw how she felt that character it was great. I think that her face is appropriate for Sofia. I think that the Director is the same who directed Carandiru, isn't him?

A good book transformed in a very poor movie. As usual a good thats very good it turns out to be a mediocre movie... it lacks of very important parts of the book that are very relevant and would have made a very grate movie... it's a long a book, i know, so. Have they had to shoot the movie in two or three parts? thats for sure.

making a film, like this out of a book like this is criminal...

they forgot about the painter parts.

they show Sophia as a bad woman, when in the books it isn't that bad, is the only woman who can understand him... but having to stretch the filming leads the movie to show the history the way it isn't.

it disappoint's u a little beat, because the film it's just because the book had the repercussion it has and not to show the real spirit of the novel itself
