"Tough, but necessary": the film with 7 Goyas that finally established Luis Tosar is leaving Netflix.

"Tough, but necessary": the film with 7 Goyas that finally established Luis Tosar is leaving Netflix.

One of the most powerful films in Spanish cinema, renowned for its rawness and depth, is leaving Netflix's catalog. This work was key to consolidating the career of Luis Tosar , who gave one of the toughest and most memorable performances of his career, and who had released Mondays in the Sun a year earlier.

Directed by Icíar Bollaín , this film became a landmark in social cinema in Spain thanks to its direct and unvarnished perspective on gender violence . Its release coincided with a key moment in the country's history, as it was in 2003 that the number of deaths from this type of violence began to be officially recorded.

The feature film starkly depicts the psychological dynamics that keep the victim trapped in a toxic and destructive relationship, but it also reflects the complexity of the family and social environment that often looks the other way.

The film received a total of seven Goya Awards , including Best Actor for Luis Tosar, Best Actress for Laia Marull, and Best Director for Bollaín. It's not just its accolades that make it a must-see, but its ability to move, provoke, and spark necessary debates, even two decades after its release. Without a doubt, it is one of the best examples of cinema committed to human rights and social commentary.

Considered by many critics and viewers to be a tough but necessary film, this film, which until now was available on Netflix , will leave the streaming platform on June 7 . The departure of Te doy mis ojos marks the end of a work that marked a before and after in Tosar's career and in the way gender violence is addressed in Spanish cinema.
