Penelope Cruz in Volver
Side note: I'm still upset that the one time I did not watch the Academy Awards was the same time Penelope Cruz won an award. I really wanted her to win Best Actress two years ago for Volver, but I knew that Helen Mirren was going to win (no lie that was an amazing performance). Though Cruz's performance as the hardworking and flawed Raimunda showcases complete honesty. Ernesto Acevedo-Munoz describes this scene:
Raimunda's rendition of the song 'Volver' gives the characters access to their real feelings. Raimunda's eyes well up as the lyrics refer to the anxiety and desire to return to and be reconnected with that which we have loved.
I cry every time I see this part.

I rewatched this last week. I cried at this part.
