Celia's Lives (Spanish: Las vidas de Celia) is a 2006 Spanish-Mexican drama film directed and written by Antonio Chavarrías which stars Najwa Nimri and Luis Tosar.
The night Celia unsuccessfully attempts suicide, a teenage girl (Melany) is raped and murdered nearby. Miguel Ángel, the police officer in charge of finding the perpetrator of the crime, digs around Celia and her closest circle, including her two sisters (Carmen and Ángela) and her husband Agustín. While the cop suspects about the girl's boyfriend (Pedro), Celia suspects about her husband.[1][2]
A Spanish-Mexican co-production, the film was produced by Oberon Cinematográfica, TAU, and Altavista Films,[3] and it had the participation of TVE and TVC.[2]
Jonathan Holland of Variety considered the "cunningly-structured noir" to be Antonio Chavarrías' "finest work to date".[2]
Nuria Vidal of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, praising "the spaces and the characters", while citing "a certain confusion of times" as a negative point.[1]
Javier Ocaña of El País considered that "with an agile, nervous production and very good performances" (especially by Tosar and Giménez Cacho) the film manages to portray a "desolate" (and perhaps a tad exaggerated) male panorama in relation to their treatment of women.[6]
