Fernanda Torres is fantastic, and it definitely feels like there's care to tell this story, but such a mediocre script with such begginers mistakes. We must do something about the lack of formal training of screenwriters, or at least that's the impression I got after I finished the movie.
I don't think every artist or, screenwriter in this case, requires formal training, actually, I'm against it as it's just elitist and we'll end up with the most boring people having…
Is this it? Like, for a movie to be called extremely racist (which it is) and offensive (definitely, but who cares), I expected something bold or even a little creative, what we got is boring and with barely anything memorable. I think that's more offensive than anything else.
Adriana Paz and Edgar Ramírez were good, but with so little to do that I wouldn't blame anyone if they don't remember what they did. One good song (funny that none of the main actresses sung in that).
One would've assumed that a movie about THAT topic not to be generic, specially when lots of people here have been praising the movie for been "shocking" — it is not except for one scene, for having an amazing lead performance — not in the slightest, she was practically sleeping almost throughout the entire runtime, not even the look of the movie is interesting (I kinda understand that it was trying to make the movie feel real, but it just didn't work).
The entire time I was thinking a movie about Zelda Morrison's character would've better far more interesting.
The first ten minutes were somewhat captivating and interesting, but everything else was completely devoid of substance and almost unbearably annoying. Just atrocious.
Definitely film school students could make something less obnoxious and with more to say.
Cool drawings though.
