An Earthly Paradise for the Eyes (2009)
Adolescence is always a difficult time; it is doubly so for Gábina. For one thing, she is growing up in the normalization years of the 1970s, and then she also has to face the reality that her father is a well-known actor disavowed by the regime. Although he abandoned the family years before, his existence casts an ominous shadow over the lives of not only Gábina, but also her older sister and mother, who are trying to find a civilized way through the social mire of the times.

Best movie of this year hands down!
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
