Synopsis: Laura (Cruz), a Spanish woman living in Buenos Aires, returns to her hometown outside Madrid with her two children to attend her sister's wedding letting her husband Alejandro (Darín). However, the trip is upset by unexpected events that bring secrets into the open.
Review: A movie with these famous actors arises many expectations. The story does not have the same panache. Indeed it is a kind of quest about the daughter of Laura. But it is obvious to any viewer (at least the ones I discussed with after the screening) what will be revealed at the end. I do not know whether it is a question of acting or of dialogue or of pictures where Laura is depicted at the beginning. And if the answer to the big question is clear from the beginning, what is then keeping my interest in the movie?  In the town of rumours and gossip, the main protagonists do not know what everyone else knows.  By luck the acting of Ricardo Darín sounds very authentic. The acting, camera and directing of family scenes are well done. I may have had too much expectations on Asghar Farhadi since the very moving of Le passé.
