I have already watched it 4 times and i am sure i will watch it another many... After watching Sergi Lopez in numerous movies, i personally think he is truly gifted and persuasive... and many times the bad guy !!! For Paz Vega not much to say... i have already watched 7 to 8 of her movies and i am very impressed... the movie points out a lot of meanings and strong, powerful feelings. It is not another female abuse movie... a powerful movie with suspense, and great performances by Paz Vega, Sergi Lopez, Elvira Minguez and Alberto Jimenez. great work!!! PLus amazing songs by Clara Montes. It is definitely worth seeing despite the comments that do not suggest so.

If Javier Balaguer wanted to make a denunciation of ill-treatment against women he should've filmed a documentary instead of this movie full of clichés, stereotypes, unreal dialogs and the awful performances of Paz Vega and Sergi Lopez. I didn't expect much of Vega, she's so bad -although no one seems to notice- but I've always liked Sergi Lopez and I must admit that his work in "Sólo Mía" leaves a lot to be desire. Maybe he was influenced -in a bad Way- by Paz, or maybe Javier Balaguer has not the faintest idea about actors direction.So if you wanna see a decent movie about ill-treatment you'd better go and see Icíar Bollaín's "Te Doy Mis Ojos". That's a serious movie, and with top quality actors.*My rate: 3/10

I went to Spain last week with my family for a wedding. I was suggested to buy "Te doy mis ojos" due to recommendations and critics. My dad was listening. So we went for it. While I was in another part of the store taking a look, my father came with this movie. "This is it", said my dad. I accepted to buy it because Sergi Lopez was in it. Thank god he played a very difficult character with his experience in acting. So, he did not let me down. The movie did. I will try to be brief to make my point here. Sergi played Joaquin a man who beats his beautiful wife Angela (Paz Vega). What I did not like is that the movie shows that he is the only one guilty, like her friend Andrea (Elvira Minguez) said. I mean, she was going to have a baby and she lightened a smoke. That is silly after a warning of him. The characters played both like children. The difference was that Joaquin went insane or any other adjective you wanna add. I think that some parts were not very intense, hard and the story demanded. Performances were pretty good with the best on Elvira Minguez and Alberto Jimenez (Andrea and his husband). My rating: 4.5 out of 10. Andres.

Unfortunately this film, which predates `Te doy Mis Ojos' (qv), escaped my attention, such that I have only now come to see it, billed as the fare for the great `Night of Spanish Cinema' on the state-run RTVE last Sunday. My biggest grouse is that they tend to put these films on too late, conveniently forgetting that most people have to be up and about, fit and ready to go on Monday morning. Maybe this is the reason for Monday being the lowest productivity-output day of the week, as, logically, many people succumb to the inevitable `mondayitis', for which no multinational pharmaceutical company has as yet come up with a suitable medication. Long live `mondayitis, I say, just as long as RTVE can find enough films of sufficient import to keep people up and wading through excessively long publicity breaks. However, on several occasions recently, I have found myself getting to about half-way through a film, when the second break for commercials appears, and I just switch off and retire to bed so as to be fresh and invigorated for the next morning.`Sólo mía' is another film about gender violence in the family. It adopts a totally different attitude to the subject matter when compared with Icíar Bollaín's film which is at once more subtle in its telling. `Sólo mía' shoves the nitty-gritty between your teeth so that you can choke on it: some of the scenes are too explicit, one might argue, and are numerously frequent; in `Te doy Mis Ojos' the hard subject matter is more carefully handled.However, Paz Vega, who starred in `Lucía y el Sexo' (qv) the same year, put in a recommendable performance as the badly beaten and tortured young mother; Sergi López as her husband plays his part well, though at times seemed to overforcefully portray his performance, thus almost beggaring belief. It should be said that his rôle was very tricky, to say the least. I feel that Luis Tosar carried off his performance in `Te doy Mis Ojos' more convincingly, with better balancing between the extremes of tensions and feelings.The rest of the cast form a good back-up to the leading couple.This film also points an accusing finger at the legal system, in which hypocritical legalities and aloofness does little - or nothing - to help solve this horrifying situation so evident today in so many headlines in Spain today. Something has got to be done: more than 70 women were killed in `gender violence' in Spain in 2003.
