Audience Member Though the subject matter was extremely serious, almost throughout, the film felt comedic. It also managed to have one of the sweetest love scenes ever. This strange dichotomy of emotion helped create a true work of art. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Que película tan simpática, la música está genial y la actuación es buenísima. La protagonista vive una increíble aventura con la ayuda de sus santitos para encontrar a su hija. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member esto le sucede a las mujeres que estan mucho en la cocina... muy buena pelicula mexicana Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A witty tale from the complex latino culture Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very interesting movie that won a Sundance film festival award. It has some bizarre plot twists. The great Dolores Heredia stars as a woman who loses her young teen daughter, whose spirit then appears in the oven. Give it a try! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member See? Mexican cinema is more than nudity, swearing and kidnappings... well, scratch the last one. This is an entertaining road movie done IN Mexico but outside Mexico City. A rarity. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
