Plot – Spoilers:
A family living out in the middle of nowhere are mostly quiet like their surroundings. Mother who used to be surgeon in Portugal sometimes breaks the silence regaling her daughter Francisca with folk tales and teaching her some of her surgical skills. Though Father is distant, Francisca is often comforted watching television in his presence. The telly is like a voice-over, often echoing their thoughts. Things begin to move when the family’s quiet life is disrupted by the arrival of a man, who at first glance appears to be a salesman or at worst, an evangelist.
The Eyes of My Mother has great style and lighting that summons the works of some of the masters of European Cinema. It also has one of the best examples of passionate, erotic stabbing.

Great movie, Story, Camera and the Director Nicolas Pesce is Top!
Merci.
I don’t understand why people on here gave it good reviews? The story was lame, the main girl was so unlikable. I just didn’t get the point? 2/5
I’ve noticed a certain consistency in your comments, Sara… “I don’t understand…” I’m thinking… just going out on a limb here… that perhaps you’re not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer and most of these movies simply go right over your head… because… as you have said repeatedly… you don’t understand… But, I guess the world needs dish washers too.
omg LOL that had to burn
Eye-mazing! …. Eye love it!
Loneliness is perhaps the most potent of human emotions. It can drive some stark-raving mad…make others commit unspeakable acts of violence… all in the name of having someone to share little slices of our lives with. Nicolas Pesce does a masterful job of showing us exactly this.
And yet another 5* flick from the masters at EUM…. Goddamn, you guys are good!
Jealousy is probably more potent
