Before watching this, I thought 4 stars are already secured coz it's a film my favorite Gael Garcia Bernal decided to star in, but actually it didn't reach my expectation.
The film was never boring, but the scene when a secret is unsolved was not directed shocking, and it took long from then to the ending. And even though the character Fele Martínez played is the main character, he didn't show up enough for the audience to be able to identify with him.
But it's the film you can see how great Gael is as an actor. According to the credit, Gael played 3 characters. He played a drag queen, but he really looked like a woman!!
By the way, the Japanese posters say that it's a movie about the ultimate love, but that's not what this movie is about, I guess.
