Our take

In this Oscar®-winning drama, Alejandro Amenábar delicately balances an emotionally-charged story with sensitive debate on the controversial question of euthanasia. With a commanding performance from Javier Bardem, The Sea Inside is a paradoxically life-affirming and passionate biography.
