Promising Filmmakers
This movie is the first feature, produced by a duo of women in the middle of the still new panorama of film making in the north of Mexico. The movie haves some problems due to being the first attempt of young people, and cause being produced against a hard medium. I must say that the movie haves many interesting moments and each one can be admired for its own merits. The principal problem is that each of this moments very often haves nothing to do with the others, I mean the film is very inconsistent in means of its narrative. The second mayor problem is the script, cause the story even being very interesting, and complex sometimes, is told in a very confusing way (I have the theory that the editing haves to do with this) making some important points unclear for almost all the play. The search of making art and also telling a good story is evident. Being this point the principal benefit of the movie and the filmmakers, promising a much better result in the next production.
Could've been better, but it wasn't
La Llorona failed to meet my expectations. The story was original and it kind of had a good plot going on, but the acting (specifically Elizabeth Avila's)was horrible. The direction of the film was bad too, and some things weren't clear, like the fact that Diana's (Elizabeth Valdez) baby was the son of her own father. It is drama all through the movie, and it needs a little comic relief. At the end of the movie I was left confused and a little depressed. I just wasted 1 hour and a half of my life watching this...but I think that if it was remade again with better acting, and a different script, it could be a really good movie.
Trash
U gotta be kidding me, I want my money back. I almost left the theater, seriously, it sucks. Plot: BAD Performance: WORSE Music: They used regular songs, that had nothing to do with the movie, they recycled music. WORST. I have seen bad movies, but this is the worst. It lacks of hot girls. It's too long. It was based on a classic Mexican legend, and they ruined its reputation by doing a really depressing version. El laberinto del fauno is a cool movie indeed. El espinazo del diablo is a great movie too, interesting plot. OK bye bye.
If you haven't seen it...go do it!
When I heard that there was a new Mexican movie, I had to watch it...but when I heard that it was made by new filmmakers and that they were about my age, then I definitely new I had to see it. And it was definitely worth my time and money. It was very inspiring to see that someone out there is brave enough to make a different film, about a completely different subject and with an out of the ordinary ending.... With a first time director, producers, lead actress and so on...it is really an achievement, especially to get it out there once the movie was completed. It really amazed me, I have always wanted to make a movie or to be part of one, and this movie showed me that hard work pays off and that it is still possible to make movies, and good ones, in Mexico! if you didn't see this film, I would recommend watching it at least on video when it comes out, definitely don't miss it and especially if you are a young aspiring filmmaker like myself.
Finally something different!!!
Loved it! Had been meaning to comment on this film since I saw it ...Finally saw something different. I went to see the film thinking it would be scary....but was surprised, in a good way, to actually be told a story where I really felt something about the characters, the situations, the relationships, the secrets...Loved the dark humor also!! The way that this mixed with the strong family situations really got the point across for me and it was shocking to see the different forms of abuse and violence going on and that probably do go on in many families. The family portrait as well as the friendships and traditions portrayed made me love this story and feel hope that a new kind of movies are going to be made...it was refreshing to hear music that actually makes you feel, especially at the end..is there a soundtrack?? Congrats to the people behind this film...when is the next one coming out??
