Un amor

"A film shorn of its director's most whimsical impulses, told with rigor and penetrating human interest, its simple title belying a panoply of nuances behind the idea of love and how it nourishes or destroys us" 

"An alternative ending, different to the one in novel, on which Coixet’s new film is based, saves this film from becoming unpalatable, blunt, dull stodge (...) a story that’s harsh to a fault, making the viewer feel simultaneously uncomfortable and astonished" 

"Costa does terrific work here (...) At times, 'Un Amor' looks like any number of movies about urban outsiders caught out by the cruelty of the countryside, at others, is is redolent of Coixet’s very best work"
