The mother performs, the daughter reacts--that's often how it goes in families.

She's grown into a capable character actress.Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-44914635559500369452016-05-12T23:06:44.800-04:002016-05-12T23:06:44.800-04:00I haven't seen this, unfortunately.

I only know her by reputation, in other words, she's an actress because of her looks. If you judge her superb, I have no reason to doubt you. But is she superb because of natural talent or because of Celso ad. Castillo's skills as a director? Again, being totally unfamiliar with her work, I don't know if she did a string of great movies.Quentin Tarantadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08091214116015175705noreply@blogger.com
