2/4
If the title of the film was meant to be ironic then Escalante's parody has fallen on deaf ears and blind eyes. Go to Full Review
Lisa Nesselson Variety 05/18/2005
Hypnotically banal in content but strangely riveting in execution, whatever the opposite of an action picture is, this is it. Go to Full Review
Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter 05/17/2005
Escalante's snail-paced depiction of how Mexican 'telenovelas' might cause an essentially decent, if spineless and unimaginative, man to react to a family disaster with an act of reckless melodrama fails to convince. Go to Full Review

Non actors work in some movies but not in this one. Especially if the script isn't the best. You need to be an excellent director in order to accomplish a good job with non actors. As an example I could use Japon and Batalla en el Cielo by Carlos Reygadas. My opinion anyway, What do I know, right? See more 06/13/2008 there's something very sordid about this movie See more 04/16/2008 this movie got excellent reviews, although I really haven't got the slightest idea why. maybe people in mexico are so sick of watching telenovelas that they want to see something nihilistic for a change. I'd rather read sartre this is way too gruesome for me. See more 12/01/2007 intensa historia, en la que la cotidianidad, se torna una pesadilla de ojos abiertos, el legado de Gaviria y Haneke, bien por escalante. See more Read all reviews
