Souvenir

Strong performances, esp from Paulina Gaitan, of Narcos fame, as the surrogate mother. The story moves along with twists and turns. Poignant and gripping. Highly recommend...

Came across this on Amazon Prime today. Not sure what to expect as didn't see a trailer, so I dug in and was gripped from the start. Mainly due to the very good and natural acting of the main female star, Isabel and also the captivating and odd professor. This movie has a lot of emotional undercurrents, I won't give anything away but it's a slow, steady, excellent script and the direction it's heading in.... Lorrrrd the direction it's heading in is unexpected to say the least. I could not predict that ending and what a pleasant surprise it was. 10/10 as this was low budget but a real dramatic masterpiece!

No pun intended - there have been movies with similar themes of course. A while ago I watched a movie where it was about a boss wanting the woman that worked for her to carry a child for her. Since it is the movies you kind of know that there will be some issues - one way or the other. Without conflict what would this even be? Why bother watching it in the first place right? So there has to be drama and drama is here for your ... well I wouldn't say enjoyment, but you get the gist.

Good acting and the main actress - well it seemed like I knew her and lo and behold she was in a tv show I watched. She was not shy about her body in that show and she isn't here either. So you can't be squeamish when it comes to nudity ... other than that, the movie has highs and some lows ... but suspense throughout.

Many topics in this story. They cannot focus in something (i.e. Paternity, maternity) they jump from one topic to another that it's difficult to concentrate in something. All of them shallow. The epilogue is unnecessary. I was thinking of that from the initial scenes.

I mean seriously. 10 stars by back to back reviewers with the exact same email but with a hyphen???? It takes credibility away from the movie.

Despite these obvious fake reviews the movie wasnt bad. I didnt know if i would like it 5 minutes it but the dark tale and acting where not to bad

6.2.
