We All Want What's Best for Her (Catalan: Tots volem el millor per a ella) is a 2013 Spanish drama film directed and co-written by Mar Coll which stars Nora Navas along with Valeria Bertuccelli. It features dialogue in both Catalan and Spanish.
Taking place in a "more or less recognizable" gray version of Barcelona, [n. 1] the plot follows Geni, a brilliant lawyer and a member of the Catalan bourgeoisie who, in the wake of a car crash, learns that she is no longer interested in her life before the accident. [2] [3] [4]
The film was produced by Escándalo Films and Televisió de Catalunya, and it had support from TVE and ICEC . [7] It was shot with dialogue in Catalan and Spanish. [5]
The film opened the 58th Valladolid International Film Festival (Seminci) on 19 October 2013. [3] [8] It was theatrically released in Spain on 25 October 2013.
Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter assessed that "the central character" (played by Navas in a performance "which can be described as otherworldly") is "more interesting than the film about her in this beautifully-played study of a woman in emotional limbo". [5]
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting the acting duel between Navas and Bertuccelli as the best thing about the film, while noting that it goes sometimes over and over the same things as a negative point. [9]
