The versatile director Alejandro Amenábar (Open Your Eyes, The Others) brings the powerful story of Ramón Sampedro who fought for 30 years to die with dignity after an accident left paralyzed. Amenábar manages to bring the story without over doing it and lets his actors tell the story. Javier Bardem gives a tour-de-force performance but the whole cast is absolutely fantastic down to the small but crucial parts. Amenábar goes beyond giving simple answers and asks bigger questions and leave the audience to draw their own conclusion. The film is inspiring and heart breaking.
