Bellott's film is often melodramatic, but that works given where the story ends. If you like Pedro Almodovar's films, you'll enjoy this.

Rated: 3/4

A moving and intellectually rewarding testament to queer life and loss.

Bellot creates a film that at times seeks to break with conventional wisdom and at others falls into all the clichés it should have avoided. [Full review in Spanish]

Tu Me Manques is a powerfully arresting Bolivian drama about what we lose when we don’t accept those closest to us for what they say they really are.

Queerty

Tu me Manques is the rare kind of movie that moves us both to feel for its characters, and to ask questions about how gay men suppressing their trauma breeds toxicity of its own.

Rated: 3/4

Less Hat, Moorhead

The real power of Tu Me Manques is the performances of Barbosa and the Argentinian star Martinez, who lash out at each with electric fury, yet always with an undercurrent of their shared love.

Johann D. M

Un drama boliviano basado en hechos reales, esta película narra el viaje emocional de un padre que, tras el suicidio de su hijo, deja atrás la conservadora Bolivia para enfrentarse en Nueva York a la pareja del joven y, en el proceso, intentar aceptar su sexualidad y comprender lo que no supo ver en vida. Aunque parte de un concepto conmovedor y con gran potencial, su ejecución deja que desear. La decisión de representar al hijo con tres actores distintos, alternando sus apariciones, resulta una elección demasiado simbólica que entorpece la narrativa y distrae más de lo que aporta. Lo mismo ocurre con la edición y ciertas decisiones estilísticas de corte teatral que, lejos de sumar, diluyen el impacto dramático. Sin embargo, la película encuentra su ancla en la soberbia interpretación del argentino Oscar Martínez, quien aporta una carga emocional auténtica y conmovedora que sostiene todo el filme. Lamentablemente, su trabajo se ve algo opacado por un enfoque artístico que parece estar más interesado en la forma que en el fondo. La obra original en teatro seguramente tiene una fuerza desgarradora, pero esta adaptación cinematográfica pierde parte de esa intensidad en su traslado a la pantalla.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
