Sea Inside is a themed film – it talks about euthanasia – certainly well shot, well written and very well acted by the great Bardem. Fortunately, the film language does not allow itself to be enslaved by the plot, escaping the caption with sequences of great artistic value, such as the POV from an angel's flight and the fatal fall between the rocks. Also excellent is the introspective work carried out on the three main characters, Ramòn and the two women, who, despite starting from different ideas, question their own positions by accepting comparison with each other and finding a definitive meeting point in the painful ending. It's a shame, however, that the same care is not found in the secondary characters, especially those who embody the antagonistic thesis, cut with an ax and partly ridiculed as happens, for example, with the quadriplegic priest and the protagonist's yokel brother. The impression, in the end, is that the film defends its principles by avoiding a real contradiction, a limit that is reflected in the excess of openly tear-jerking scenes.
