Ema

Pros: 1. The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous, especially considering the colour gradient and the superb slow camera movements. 2. Both Gael García Bernal (Gastón) and Mariana Di Girolamo (Ema) both give fantastic performances. 3. The dance scenes are greatly choreographed and are completely entrancing. 4. The emotional scenes between Ema and Gastón conversing about their failings with Polo (Cristián Suárez) and their relationship since Polo, land powerfully. 5. The score is mesmerising and it lathers the movie in emotional richness, and is always utilised effectively. 6. The sex scenes are incredibly sensual, intimate, and they succinctly highlight the depth of where Ema will go for Polo.

Cons: 1. The pacing is a little too slow at certain points, with some scenes lasting too long. 2. The plot is rather unfocused at times and it sometimes loses its way in regards to the story-telling. 3. The flame-thrower scenes, although visually enrapturing, are utterly pointless.
