Shane Slater Awards Radar A State of Madness is worth commending for its attention to the period details, but it's story leaves you wanting.

Rated: 5/10 Mar 8, 2021 Full Review Frank J. Avella Awards Daily Bold, often hilarious and sublime, Madness boasts wonderful acting, especially by Rick Montero as "the sanest lunatic" in the asylum.

Pero que Alvaridad I was not expecting this movie to be so great! Historically inspired films in the DR tend to be as tasty as plain Casabe with a glass of water, but this one is a notorious exception. The atmosphere will be so intoxicating, you'll leave disoriented. Luis José German's performance is magnificent. I'm reading the book and I see him in my thoughts. The image I have connects so accurately with the character, that I can enjoy even more the novel. Worth watching. *** If you're planning on reading the book, you HAVE to watch the movie first. The reading experience will be awesome.*** Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
