Audience Member Great love story with Santria. The protagonist promises never to have sex if she gets the role :Giselle Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Simbolismo extremo. Cae en un surrealismo forzado y muy obvio. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member LETTERBOX. Sí y no. Tiene cosas muy valiosas, pero se excede en prácticamente todo, sobre todo en su espiritualidad y humanismo superficiales. / Yes and no. Has many worthy things, but is excessive in practically everything, especially its hollow spirituality and humanism. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Interesting Cuban art film that doesn't quite get my recommendation. The color and music of the film is vibrant but its style can only take it so far. The acting is okay but the film utilizies the breaking of the 4th dimension too much and becomes unfocused and distracting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
