La critique d'El Doctor Maligno (Blogger)4

4. Por las interpretaciones:
Quizás pondríamos un único pero: la no siempre ajustada presencia de Victoria Abril, un poco pasadita en su papel de madre coraje. Por suerte, la suya es una aportación  secundaria, ya que en Solo quiero caminar el testigo de protagonista lo toma, poco a poco, Ariadna Gil. Y aquí está mejor que nunca, alejada de esa impostada fragilidad  llorona que, a nuestro parecer, afeaba muchos de sus trabajos anteriores. Elena Anaya y Pilar López de Ayala están resultonas, y Diego Luna podría dar lecciones a Leonardo  DiCaprio sobre cómo hacer personajes adultos sin perder la carita de niño.(Faut bien dire que Diego Luna est un EXCELLENT acteur particulièrement dans ce rôle)

5. Por tarantiniana... a su manera:
No es descabellado citar a Tarantino como inspiración del nuevo film de Díaz Yanes. No quiere esto decir que Solo quiero caminar sea una copia de la estética patentada por el  director norteamericano. Si hay puntos de contacto es porque ambos directores parten de una misma fuente: la elegancia de cierto cine clásico, que se revisa con reverencia,pero también sentido del humor.Y luego está la música, punto de anclaje importantísimo que si en Tarantino apela a los setenta, en Diaz Yanes conecta con cualquier música  capaz de describir la rabia más dolida: el flamenco, los corridos o incluso Patti Smith.

Just Walking...And Running

Author: Chrysanthepop from Fraggle Rock

Agustín Díaz Yanes's 'Solo Quiero Caminar' is an interesting thriller that centres around four women who are thieves and best friends (two of them are sisters). What I like about  these four characters is that even though their ways of getting what they want may not be considered decent (they use sex as a weapon and means of exchange), they are  undoubtedly courageous and strong. Yanes's screenplay works very well with the right mix of dark humour and intensity. However, the pacing is a little slow and the film slightly  lacks in style. The right style always helps in enjoying a good action film.

What really works in its favour are the performances by the four lead actresses: Victoria Abril, Ariadna  Gil, Pilar López de Ayala and Elena Anaya are each terrific in their parts. Diego Luna is solid as right hand man Gabriel. 'Solo Quiero Caminar' does have a musical feel to it. The Spanish and Mexican locations are captured well. The special effects department has also done a fine job. Overall, it's an enjoyable film where one gets to see women with  action but these are far from the usual action heroines. Yanes gives them a touch of humanity by showing a more human, vulnerable side and that's where it succeeds.

Diego Luna...Excellent as usual

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
                                                                            
That's the basic premise from "Solo quiero caminar". Make no mistake, the main characters here are the ones played by Diego Luna and Ariadna Gil's as Aurora, Ana's sister.  Victoria Abril is no longer the main character but it's still relevant The film has outstanding performances from Luna and Yaspik. Pilar López de Ayala is very good and the other  actors are good as well. In general, a very good cast, even the singer Manuel Mijares appears singing his classic song "Soldado del amor".

You can expect some very violent scenes. Some of us may compare it to the gangster films of Tarantino or Guy Ritchie but as Agustín Díaz Yanes first effort, it lacks the type  of humour or irony those other directors have, Yañez is a little bit more serious about it and while there is some little comic relief, you won't find that much. In fact, the film is very violent at some points and with very little dialog at others.

It does has some nods to the first film, but is not necessary to watch it to understand what happens here.This is a whole different story with the same style as the first film, but yet different. The kind of nods you will appreciate if you saw the first movie, specially the return of Ana Ofelia Murguía as Doña Amelia, but nothing more. While not as good or interesting as the first one, it does have a better direction, and amazing use of the camera, and a whole technical improvement over "Nobody". (will speak of us...)
