| | Oh...What a Tangled Web We Weave! | Winn 06/28/2011 | | This movie should be given a 4 Star rating. Penelope was exciting, engaging and beautiful in her portrayal of' 'Lena'. Lluis Homar seduces the audience as charming 'Harry Caine'. Blanca Portillo was extremely believable as the tortured, long suffering, faithful ex-Lover 'Judit Garcia'....and Jose Luis Gomez as the obsessive, controlling, thoughtful, conniving Ernesto was a text book study in character. I've recommended this movie to all my Friends (real and those on Facebook)! |
