Volver

This is a little soap opera of a movie with a real beginning and middle and end. It was fun to watch. Penelope Cruz is just luminous in this. Normally I think of her as being the homely little sister of Salma Hayak. But she is really lovely and very easy to watch in this. It's a girl movie in a lot of ways- with women being strong and holding on to one another. It is a multigenerational film. It is subtitled- but soon you will be speaking Spanish just like they are. I'd recommend it.
