Pense à moi (I) (2019)

GOOD, BUT UNFOCUSED
3 February 2022
Too many characters in this story, distracting from the main drama: the death of a twin, which seems almost an afterthought. Instead of concentrating on that and the relationship of the 2 siblings (and the one's love interest) their family become the relevant focus, which might make sense....but! The problem is that for no particular reason a large amount of time is spent around the little annoying sister; she's not fun, nice, key to the story or the narrative; so is the grandma, a conservative religious woman dressed -why?- for a kinky party. The main characters, the living twin, and the dead-twin-boyfriend, have a limited, fragmented time, where we understand little and wish for much more, to no avail. Even the last scene, at the cemetery, where we expect something to happen, is interrupted after 1 minute by: the grandma, the little horrible sister, the other sister fresh of an intercourse in a car, and her uber-boyfriend. A movie with a great potential, but a poor direction. BRAVO to Noah Urrea for his portrait of Mason, but unfortunately, he cannot alone save the movie. A suggestion: do not use smart kids in films, they are often unbearable. That little girl is the perfect example of what one should never do in a movie. Over the top, and incredibly ANTIPATICO.
