This movie is fantastic. This is one of the few films that I've seen that really seems to understand the mind of a child.

Beautiful film about lost childhood. Also, a wonderful example of the poetry of simple physical actions infront of the camera.

The young Ana Torrent remains just as lovely as she was in The Spirit of the Beehive, but this time her role is darker and the themes more conflictive, dealing with loss of important people in her life through an obscure series of events she may have been involved in, whether she (and the audience) knows when to set apart imagination from reality. Though joyfully campy at times, to me this is a masterpiece.

A fascinating film, that seems like the lost collaboration between Bergman and Fellini, while being very Spanish as well. Great performances and direction.

Set inside a morbid, dark fascist era house, Carlos Saura's exquisite drama is both a political allegory and haunting psychological character study of a society and the people that make up the society teetering on the edge of rapid change. At time it shares similarities with The Spirit of the Beehive, but lacks the visual beauty of the latter film. However its performances and script are all assured.

The scene when the mother dies was really well scripted I like that scene a lot.

The scene with Ana and her sister pretending to be their parents arguing really affected me. That song is catchy as hell, too.

A very personal film for me. There were some very touching moments that made me cry. Beautiful film.

Sólo tengo una palabra para esta película: floja! Si no fuera por la excelente actuación de la niña Ana Torrent que literalmente se echa la película al hombro. Excepto por un par de escenas interesantes a nivel visual el film no posee una dirección resuelta y constante. Es una pena cuando se tienen expectativas tan altas de una película y al final resulta en decepción.

Cría Cuervos (1976) Carlos Saura Nice film – one I will remember. Saura was lucky to have *Ana Torrent*, she made the film even though she was trying to kill everyone. She was so cute, you empathize with a homicidal child. The ending is “No Country for Old Men” with girls - maybe Coen brothers stole the idea from Cría Cuervos.

Loved it! Totally from a child's perspective and outlook on life. I am sure many of us can identify with some of the emotions this little girl was feeling.

As honest as they come, Carlos Saura's Cria Cuervos... is a psychological journey through imagination, despair, and child like confusion. The audience feels every emotion that Ana Torrent does; she breaks my heart, you can just see the pain in her eyes. Wildly realistic and personal, but at the same time very driven by the imagination of a child. Brilliant ending, I must say.

Post-New Wave Surrealism. Saura created a very touching and haunting personal story with the graces of his mentor Bunuel. It reminded me of THE 400 BLOWS paired with LOS OLVIDADOS.
