Volver reviewed



Recently watched the movie Volver with my wife on DVD. Starring Penélope Cruz in the lead role for which she was nominated for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Actress. This is a true feminist movie and though I enjoyed it, I couldn't but help feel a bit disappointed.

The reason was that there wasn't a single positive male character in the movie. The impression that you get after watching the movie is that all guys are pigs. And I am not saying this just because I am a guy.

Here's the official trailer.
