      Audience Member Good story about these couple who has to face Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Es cortica pero muy chévere!! Me gusta la actuación de John Alex Toro Y Julián Roman. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member muchos momentos de esta peli se me hacen muy teatrales que bueno seria ver esta historia en las tablas Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting film this. The acting is solid, the story-telling is a little too fragmented although admirably bold in its narrative construction. The characters do induce sympathy and the gritty realism gives it an almost documentary feel. Certainly worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member La primera noche es un cortometraje de Roberto Gomez B. y mola el gordo xD. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 'que pena mirar al costado' Una película que algunos no quieren que se vea Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
