She Doesn’t Want to Sleep Alone

Amanda finds her aimless life is altered when she is forced to come to the aid of her alcoholic grandmother. Dolores is a retired actress who lives alone amongst the faded photographs of her past glory. And, as each bottle of whiskey empties, her memory slips further. Until now, Amanda has not had much of a relationship with her grandmother, and she takes on her new role of caretaker reluctantly. The obsessions of a young woman and the eccentricities of an aging one meet head-on in this artfully constructed drama that poignantly questions what it means to grow old.

It is this clash of generations that is the greatest achievement of the film, as much for its emotional impact, as for the enjoyment of their dialogues. Mary Carmen Albarrán, Cine Premiere
