Leave your thoughts about Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle"Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed" is subtle in the truest sense, in that it says and suggests much, and does so definitely, but through a minimum of means. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Kathy FennessyI assumed while, watching the film, that it represented a form of cinematic wish fulfillment. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThis small gem offers a lovely evocation of Spain as well as a touching tribute to an unforgettable moment in time when the Beatles seemed to offer brand new possibilities, the idea that strawberry fields might indeed go on forever. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Sarah WardThe central performances overcome the conventional material to offer relatable characters on a universal quest, with the always excellent Camara a perfect guide through pleasant territory. |
| Montreal GazetteBrendan KellyThe film never gets too heavy. But light as it is, it does a good job of capturing a time and place that few of us are familiar with. |
| The Age (Australia)Philippa HawkerIt's a project that could easily be weighed down with nostalgia or over-determination, but there's a generosity and humour about the performances and the direction that keep the film light and buoyant. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsJavier Camara, best known here for his work with Pedro Almodovar, is quite good as the teacher, delivering a performance of real tenderness and depth. In Spanish with subtitles. |
| Cine VértigoErnesto DiezmartinezA throaway road-movie, well acted, somewhat funny, but in the end it's just pretty standard. [Full review in Spanish] |
| User ReviewMichael JGreat movie. I saw it in spanish with english titles in an international flight. Great story, great message. I fully recommended it. |
