With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to 12 Angry Men or Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 13 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1956: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Monologue of an actor meditating about doom.
