Take My Eyes

This Spanish movie tackles the subject of domestic abuse somewhat well and strikingly realistically. Pilar takes her son and leaves her abusive husband in the middle of the night to flee to her sisters, so anxious she doesn't even remember to change out of her slippers. She still loves him however and he works his way back into her life. Even though there is nothing mind blowing in the movie it is worth watching for how it deals with its subject.
