Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for music lovers and anyone in the mood for a love story. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked West Side Story? This is a good next one.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 55 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

A dangerous love affair inspires a director to create the most spectacular and boldly seductive dance film ever made.
