This review is from: Mataharis [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Spain ] (DVD)

A popular actress in Spain , Iciar Bollain is also a talented director with many noteworthy films under her belt , most notably the multy awarded 2006 effort " Take My Eyes " , a tender and brave look at domestic violence . Her latest work " Mataharis " tells the story of three female private detectives , Eva , Inez and Carmen , all working at the same investigations office . Although inicially more occupied with their job obligations , the matters of the heart eventually take the center stage .
Like her past offerings " Flowers Of Another World " about immigration and integrasion and " Hi ! Are You Alone " which focused on female friendship , " Mataharis " is another small triumpth for the director : an intelligent little film which deals with it's delicant issues in a sensitive and humane way . Nothing more nothing less and that suits Bollain just fine . Finally , although all three actresses do a great job with their rather discreet characters , it's Najwa Nimri who stands out as a yound wife and mother tormented by suspicions .
