Best movie I've seen so far, 29 January 2006
10/10
Author: jessyaro from Venezuela

This is a movie worth paying for, not only does it take a 180� turn just when you had it figured out but it's also suspenseful.

Just yesterday I saw this movie and came out of the cinema with a feeling of satisfaction, that I spent my money well. Beautiful scenes, amazing music that will make you have goosebumps all over and a wonderful plot that really gets you thinking instead of laying it all in front of you.

This movie is a promise for all the future Latin American films and a great achievement for Stan Jakubowicz. As for the actors, there's a different feeling to them than towards Hollywood actors, they feel real, like if they are really going through it all (no offense to Hollywood actors) and this is because they are fresh faces never seen before for most people.

I've never felt so into the story as I did with this movie, you can actually feel their pain and get nervous when they are about to confess something. SImply pure and their emotions are palpable.

For this movie I rate it 10/10 because it's really worth seeing.

Predictable, 30 January 2006
4/10
Author: bartisoft from Chile

A few days ago, I went to the theater to watch this movie that somehow got my attention.

This movies focuses on the story of Zoe (Mori). A woman whose marriage is in constant conflict. Her husband Ignacio (Meier) inheritor of the family business, and Gonzalo (Cardona) Ingnacio's younger brother who gives his life to painting, but makes a living thanks to his brother and strangely always shows hatred towards him. With all these background, it isn't hard to presume where the story is leading to.

As the story goes on, more background details explains why every character acts the way they do, and how a triangle of betrayal and disloyalties is taking part in the plot.

Acting: I think Cardona (Gonzalo) though not outstanding, is the only one who achieves a little touch of truthfulness to his character, showing himself as someone careless and incapable of commitment. Meier (Ignacio), He got his moments of clarity, but not enough to convince with his character. Mori (Zoe), I must say that it's the first time I see her acting, and to be honest, I think that she never managed Zoe, being absolutely lacking of the emotiveness required by her character. It's supposed that Zoe is a woman full of inner conflicts as a result of the relationship with her husband. Though, she never get to make the audience feel any empathy. I should say that being a beautiful woman is never enough.

Plot: It always kept predictable, that's why I expected any surprise near the end, but it never happened. Sometimes it might bores you or find that something doesn't fit.

Directing: Not outstanding, it has some highlights. For instance, the manage of close-up within conversations between character, where you can see that everything blurs but the faces.

Soundtrack: Apparently doesn't have one, you just can hear the song "Mentiras" from the Chilean band "La Ley"

In summary, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you want to give it a try, do it at your own risk.

the movie is not Mexican, it is Peruvian, 23 January 2006
8/10
Author: lepafi from Canada

Great adaptation from the book. Very good acting and the story flows smoothly. The director does an excellent job providing the viewer with all the subtle meanings of every situation, through the main characters emotions with a good balance of reality, sensitivity for what's going on and good sense of humor. By the way, the movie is not Mexican, it is Peruvian. Christian Meier, the Director and the author of the book are all from Peru. Their use of Mexican accent and slang is very impressive, I guess they needed to do this in order to make the movie more commercially attractive to other markets and that is probably why so many people think that it is a Mexican film. Give Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar It will be great if someday Peru is recognized for its film industry.
