    Brilliant! The cinematography, acting, and screenplay are outstanding. Magnificent performance by Magaly Solier. A gem of a film!
  • Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
    Its Oscar nomination is acceptable considering Solier's performance and the slow-paced visual experience it gives.
  • Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
    Its abstract narrative structure, heavy themes and slow pacing don't make for comfortable viewing, but its visual style, emotional narrative and superb performances prove that there are many good opportunities for filmmaking in Peru.

    The Milk Of Sorrow is a wonderful film that might not be for everyone. It's slow and very hands off in its direction. The proceedings transpire with a non sympathetic approach. I felt bad for the protagonist in a real world sense in that i understood where she was coming from, but without all the usual hollywood cues hollywood uses to munipulate emotion from the audience. The underlining allegory of the film is about dealing with old wounds and a destructive past; and how sometimes it may be easier to cling to pain than to move past it. I can relate to that and i can see how it can be difficult to let go of something that has soo deeply scarred you and you people that its essentially changed your DNA. It's beautifully shot, with a wonderful but simplistic sound track. Highly recommended viewing ***** Five out of Five stars.

    Despite the intended metaphors, the film still sounds rather odd & stiff.
