      Carlos Bonfil La Jornada Fresh and original for a first director's work and doesn't deserve being eclipsed by this season's ordinary films. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 12, 2016 Full Review Fernando Santoyo Tello Cinema Movil A movie filled with dark humor that succeeds in many things but you can't help to feel it could've been better. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 4, 2016 Full Review Sofía Huerta Butaca Ancha To take such a serious conflict and use it as a conduit for a dark comedy requires not only to be smart, but socially responsible. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 2, 2016 Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Cine Vértigo If the film didn't have the pig in it, it would be unwatchable. With the pig it's just bad. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 1, 2016 Full Review Alejandro Murillo Cine Premiere A crazy "norteo" film that doesn't need big stars to entertain you. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jul 28, 2016 Full Review Cuauhtémoc Ruelas El Mexicano Manages to transcend the clichs thanks to the remarkable performance of its director, and offers a sincere and interesting history.

      Audience Member Un drama-comedia mexicano con una historia lineal bastante particular. Un muchacho trabaja en la Semefo, conoce a una mujer calenturienta masoquista, y después compra un puerco a unas niñas huérfanas. A lo largo de la película podemos adentrarnos a la vida del personaje principal y sus aventuras. El ritmo de la historia me parece adecuado, ni muy lento ni muy rápido. La fotografía también es aceptablemente agradable, aunque para mi gusto, la cámara se deja fija en exceso. Los diálogos y palabras utilizadas me parecen poco naturales. No sé si el director haya vivido en una zona como en la que se desarrolla la trama, pero no parece. Aún así, respeto la decisión de omitir decir groserías para darle más "realismo". No encontramos situaciones graciosas cada 5 minutos, pero las que se muestran son las necesarias y no son tontas. Quizá el objetivo de Nuñez era demostrar lo complicado que es para algunas personas subsisitir, la ironía de algunas situaciones, o lo imprevisible que es la vida, pero me parece que no queda muy claro lo que quiere transmitir. Creo que es un filme relativamente bien logrado para ser el primer largometraje del director. Espero que no sea la última cinta que podamos disfrutar de Miguel, y le deseo mucha suerte en sus posteriores proyectos. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
