What a fantastic unique movie! Great acting, great story, great surprises, good ending, mind-bending musical score. Try it for at least 20 minutes - if it is not your cup of tea then fine! But try to open your mind, drop preconceived perceptions, do to try to anticipate what happens next (because the majority of the time you will be wrong), go with flow: and then watch for at least 20 minutes.
A weird musical. I didn’t get it.
Europeans made a movie full of stereotypes about Mexicans. Hollywood loves stereotypes, their whole industry is based on it.
