Antonia's Line (1995)
The best thing about this movie is that it's touching by being simple and down-to-earth - a portrait of how mothers and daughters relate to each other and the important people around them. Therefore, my only complaint is the one thing that makes the movie not simple - in the beginning, Antonia's daughter Danielle sees statues come to life and interact with her. It brings her into her own little fantasy world that makes sense later when she becomes an artist. However, the movie breaks the 15-minute rule and doesn't keep this up past the beginning. Other than that, it was a great story, though very dark at times.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
