Now this is the Natalie Portman I love and remember. She does a spectacular job portraying two characters in this film. The first is an unjustly accusted woman who spends 15 years imprisoned for not eating pork (during the Spanish Inquistion they thought she was Jewish because of this). Later on in the film she plays this characters teenage daughter. This was a wonderful tale about truth and it comes from Milos Forman (he also directed ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST and AMADEUS). As usual, Javier Bardem brings his A game. Unfortunately this will probably get overlooked by many when it's released on the 26th but I would recommend seeing it.
