Audience Member Dos cosas bonitas de esta peli: 1. Ver Guadalajara de 1984 y 2. Ver a Guadalupe Del Toro en el maravilloso personaje de Doña Herlinda. :P Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member quite a crazy little film , uncomfortable at times but the humour shines through Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly progressive view of extended family and balancing the needs of the heart and familial obligations. Thankfully not a cliched telenovela. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review alejandro t Finally! Doña Herlinda y su hijo, analized like a isolated film is simple, with low budget, bad kinda super 8 quality and terribly bad acted. But seen historically, it was a mexican gay film pioneer. Jaime Humberto Hermosillo portraits not only the scarily two-faced society and the 80's life of Guadalajara but also the way homosexuality was treated in a family ambiance in which love is victim of the moral values. Se ve que la hicieron con tres pesos y los peores actores del mundo aunque eso también le da puntos extras (de comedia involuntaria). Fuera de eso, la historia es potente y el personaje de Herlinda una fascinante mezcla de madre amorosoa y monstruosa. Un retrato maravilloso de la cultura de provincia en los ochenta y su manera de afrontar el amor prohibido. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member odd little movie from the 80s. the DVD transfer / sound quality / subtitling were awful, making it difficult to enjoy the movie. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member No esperaba encontrar aquí­ esta película, pero aquí está. Dicen que Jaime Humberto Hermosillo es el Almodóvar mexicano. Puede ser, aunque creo que a 'Doña Herlinda y su hijo' le falta el puntito de pasión incontrolada que tienen todas las películas de Pedro Almodóvar. Los actores no están muy convincentes, pero la historia es interesante. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
