BLOWN AWAY
19 October 2021
I had the luck to see this film physically in a film festival, and I'm going to just be plain and simple, this film is what I wish was the representation of Mexico's filmmaking to the world and not those mediocre comedies that we have in the commercial theaters.

The film is a real and uplifting representation of a minority in a country full of them which just makes every mexican relate so frekin much.

The girls were phenomenal, everyone really was.

I thank everybody that was involved in this film It made my day!

Pleasant surprise!

I'm not from Ecuador but I come from a south mexican city and I can understand the hardship that is to make a quality film in a place that has very little opportunities, but this film didn't care about that. The acting was phenomenal, the two brothers were natural actors, the story was told in a way that just made you keep going, It was perfectly not too fast and not too slow, the character Luis was so immature and stupid but I just kind of loved him, he was sympathetic and Paco was very relatable, the whole story was relatable if you were born and live in Lationamerica, just by hearing the title I can sense Dysfunctional family coming, and we latinos know lots about that.

I'm going to look foward to more filmography in Ecuador, Keep the good work!!

LITERALLY CRIED BC OF HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WAS

This film has turned into one of my favorite films of all freakin time!! Did not expect that, a friend of mine told to watch because she thought I was going to love it and she was right. I relate deeply to this film, we I was 18-19 years old I got myself my first camera and I love to play with lights and shadows while acting for scenes that I created, I had no profesional lights like Bo but damn I had so much fun doing it, but when rona came I kind of got so sick of recording in my house that I went to a type of creative burnout, I want to get back on track on filming creatively and this film really recharged me so much!

Saying it's a slow film is too shallow
20 October 2019
It's really intriguing how mexican independent films constantly tend to be slow paced and rather quiet, for some reason mexican filmmakers tend to opt for little dialogue which is not very realistic, come on, accept it, we are rather loud... The fact that the three characters are in some way depressed can tired us, we need some variation, i want to guess that they wanted to do that with the clerk character but she was just sarcastic. The conflicts in the film where within the interiors of the character's minds which is totally okay and can be used in a cool way, notheless I didn't feel like they were willfull enough to fight for solving their conflicts... they just drowned in them. I found it frustraiting.
