Una Great Movie

What an original, imaginative piece. Beautifully shot, an homage to a small Mexican village and the people who live there, some wonderful actors and all of it ably crafted by Jennifer Sharp, who brings into focus the many factors that exist in bringing one's dream, in this case a script to fruition on the big screen. There's also a case to be made to follow your truth and be strong enough not to listen to every Tom, Dick, or Harriet's opinions.

Is this a great movie? No. But it's an interesting one. First off, I have to say that it's a shame that the writer or whoever else purchased a bunch of fake reviews to put on here. The movie is not bad, and would definitely stand on it's own but these tactics leave a sour taste in my mouth.

When it comes to the movie itself the camera work is shoddy, you can definitely see and feel the indie quality both in the look and the dialog. It's also a little bit racist and paints the casting of white people in a movie as if it caused a loss of artistic merit and value. In spite of this I did not have a bad time with this movie in the first half, but after that point it starts to take itself way too seriously and drags on, it was a challenge to finish it.

Overall, I would still recommend it to people who like off-beat comedies with an unusual premise, but it won't be the best movie you have seen in the month.

A movie that is rich in the full continuum of diversity that I found funny, touching and very well acted. Touched with a bit of satire and humor, the story is a good one bolstered by good direction. Funny but gives you enough to think about after the credits I would recommend.

A beautifully directed, wonderfully acted, cleverly written, highly entertaining story with important themes and interesting characters. Worth watching multiple times to catch all of the meaningful details in the set, costuming, coloring, lighting, and music. The story illuminates serious issues that are rarely addressed in Hollywood. The carefully crafted storylines deliver the messages in a way that keeps you thinking long after the movie ends.

In addition to highlighting ridiculous film industry standards, Una Great Movie offers humor, romance, and insight into environmental and tourism issues. This is a refreshingly unique film that deserves a much greater audience,

Una Great Movie, the touching, smart story of a movie in a movie, is all about trying to achieve your dreams in the face of countless setbacks. Set on a beautiful island in Mexico and in L. A., it combines a satirical look at the biases of the film business with a playful, enchanting and stereotype-busting story of two black women friends seeking love and making friends on a trip to Mexico. Great acting & writing, charming characters, beautiful shots and scenery, and lovely music combine to make Una Great Movie a film to savor, remember and rewatch (which I did).
