Fake it til you make it
8 April 2023
A love story with believable characters and some warmly funny moments/situations.

There are a few surprises, but in general, this is not the first film to tackle a similar plot. But that's necessarily a thing. The journey is what matters.

Unfortunately I did not get the references to the differences between Mexican and Argentinian pronunciation, but its not a big deal. (I watched in Spanish with subtitles)

If you're looking for a fun romantic comedy that will make you laugh, this film is probably for you. Might have been just a tad too long, but one tip. Wait for the final scene after the credits.

Sayen (2023)
6/10
A glimpse into indigenous culture
5 March 2023
Whether this was a deep view into the indigenous culture of South America, I cant say, but the film makes a first approach by showing many different types of character: the bravery and dignity of Sayen's grandmother (who steals the show), Sayen's bravery and integrity, even a sellout - in the company's guide, and a non-warrior who shows the way to fight as a journalist. The subject matter is especially relevant today, so the film gets points for that.

A shame that the film did not give more closure with the ending. We hope for a better resolution in the sequel, but unfortunately, that might be the point that the film veers from reality.

All in all the film is not as bad as the official reviews say. It will be interesting to see how it continues.
