Audience Member Entretenida y predecible a iguales cantidades. Al menos es agradecida, esa dosis de final feliz, de "Emma Suárez", y fotografía nice. San Juan está lleno de tics... en fin... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member la coexistencia entre la belleza y lo rustico, la convivencia entre la estetica del descuido y la simplicidad de las culpas sin dueños, y sobretodo la combatividad del noble y el rudo, son precisamente esas cosas que me recuerdan por que me estremezco con la vida... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Sencilla, con bonita fotografia y un guion bastante pobre. Uno no sale ni contento ni enojado del cien, se deja ver. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member No me la esperaba, así que me sorprendió. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting character study about a biker who discovers he had an illegitimate daughter and must take care of her. Fantastic performance by the lead and an interesting "Sopranos"-esque score, but the film doesn't really go anywhere until the last half for it's dramatic conclusion. Still, one to look out for.
