Just Add Water (2008)
Wonderful!!
I loved this. It's capturing. Of course the stellar cast (Dylan Walsh, Tracy Middendorf, Danny DeVito and Cerina Vincent) has much to do with it, but on top of that it's a really good story. And quite funny too, without ever getting sentimental, which is quite an achievement. A truly brilliant film, don't know why it ever escaped my intention. I loved this. It's capturing.

El limpiador (2012)
No originality, bombastic
This is a typical movie from a young guy who thinks he understand everything about life. The 'grumpy old man' and the 'adorable kid' who 'melts his heart' (the exact storyline that Kolya has, a movie by Jan Sveriak). The dull, apocalyptic atmosphere doesn't add anything to this story, it's just there, for no reason whatsoever. The cleaners in white suits, shuffling their broomsticks in silence are more ridiculous than frightening. They seem to be there to to make the movie 'deep' and 'meaningful', but fail at this. And the tempo is slow like a Tarkovsky, but without the loaded silence and broad gestures. It seems like the maker saw a couple of movies and tried to mix them into one script. There are several concepts quite unrelated to each other. The endresult: rather uninteresting, done before and bombastic at times.
