If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

the flowers around the presence of people. the people. in ordinary gesture and words and habits. like far silhouettes. a film of states. about errors, dreams, illusions, answers. a young woman. and her boyfriend. an old man. and the life as a large plain who becomes more and more strange. not the story, so simple, not the performances, inspired sketches, maybe not the look of the young woman but the emotion after the end of it defines "Amador". and this is all. a story about flowers and about people as silhouettes.

Everyone needs money. Marcela a South American immigrant living in Spain is pregnant--her hustling husband wants to set up a flower store and needs to make payments on a refrigerator--the children of Almador need his pension to complete their new house. A 50s something prostitute visits Almador once a week for 30 Euros.The source of the money is the pension of Almador,a bed ridden sick elderly man, who Marcela is hired to take care of.He dies. How do you keep the money coming in at least in the short run?The actress who does Marcela is great...just perfect but so is the prostitute. There are attempts at comedy but somehow they don't work very well since you have in your mind the whole time of how the cadaver must look and smell--not something that puts you in a mood to laugh.Is it possible for a film noir to attempt humor that is what this movie does.Beautifully filmed and acted and different. There are lots of things you can read into it too....wilted flowers...the refrigerator making a noise when the door is open....the rotting cadaver all of it ties together.RECOMMEND

A surprising film about the treasures that can result from serendipitous meetings. Marcela needs some money to pay for a refrigerator. Little does she know that the dying man she gets paid to befriend will help her find some life-changing direction. Severely depressed, and impregnated by an untrustworthy, unimaginative man, Marcella is the heart of this film. She is played amazingly by Peruvian-born Magaly Solier. This story combines elements of the immigrant tale and horror and yet manages to be deeply and psychologically knowing. My only quibble is that Amador, played compellingly by Celso Bugallo, dies way too early. Allowing him to survive a little longer, uttering more of his thought-provoking words, could only have enhanced this film. "Amador"'s ending soars.(A few parting realizations from Marcella could possibly help us all: "You think you want to be with someone. But what you actually want is not to be alone. And so then when you find someone, it's the same thing. You're still alone.")

A South American immigrant, an unfaithful boyfriend, a prostitute at the end of her carrier, an old man left to rest, by his family, till the death comes an takes her prize. All this characters coexist in a very bizarre, yet simple and believable way. These are the characters that we see across our daily routine, transposed, from reality to fiction, without losing any of their authenticity.Flowers celebrate life, love and death, and connect both the ends of the limited and closed interval where we stand. The flowers are the most visible and important adornment in this film. Even though they are natural flowers, they need some help to intensify their perfume. Reference, perhaps, to the constant element of artificiality in our lives. Reference to the art of pretending.The film has a constant and intense summer light. It flows from brief moments of joy and humor to introspection. Dialogues of simple minds, that reach well under the surface of the common places.This is a simple story, told magnificently.
