Eye for Film

[David M] Matthews handles the slender story with skill and although at times it ventures into soap opera territory the supporting cast mostly manage to keep it on an even keel, with nobody trying to steal the spotlight.

Rated: 3.5/5

Watching Hidalgo's display in Ernesto's Manifesto reminded me of 'Yehya' and 'Guillermo' on 'The Jimmy Kimmel Show'. Like, how could you not love em'. They're brilliant!

David M. Matthews created a wonderfully engaging character with Ernesto. I enjoyed watching Ernesto's journey from troubled times to achieving great success. You see David's heart and sense of humor poured into the characters in this clever story. It's a must-see. David is a wildly talented film maker. He wrote, directed and scored this film. How many guys have all these credits on one film? Oh, and he acted in a cameo. Is he the next Oliver Stone? Be sure to see this film. It won't disappoint.

Very sweet film. When the film started, I wasn't sure I wanted to stay with it because one character was so mean and caddy, but we watched it until the end and I am so glad we did. Ernesto's Manifesto made me feel better about life, people and simply being. The film reminded me of Peter Sellers in Being There, but with its own funny style. I was there, entertained and uplifted. I recommend watching Ernesto's Manifesto! Ole!
