Las niñas bien

What could have been an interesting societal study of a change of elites in the times of crisis (the falling down of Sofía De Garay's status and the rising of Ana Paola Haddad's) is lost as the characters, true to the selves of Mexican upper class, are too frivolous to understand the reality they live in. And the film does not go beyond that limited look of things.

Yes, old banking and manufacturing families went down in the crisis of 1982-88, and others -notably the mogul Carlos Slim, well portrayed as Mr. Haddad- made millions and millions, but the process was not as swift and shallow as the movie makes it be.

Acting is good, production is nice, pace is slow and the whole film ends up to (almost) nothing.

An understated slow burn. As tense as a horror film. Psychological. Lots of pregnant silences. You see stories about the rich destroying themselves and others. You see stories about the others getting destroyed. But what if you're in that scene, neither the predator nor the prey, effected by the results, and have no control over what's happening. This film made me feel uncomfortable and helpless. Marvelous. The costumes and sets are gorgeous too. Ilsa Salas is stunning.

Amazing film, that is all I have to say. Loved everything about it.

Acting is great, production is good, sound is wonderful and the story reminds me of the good old times.

I loved this movie! The storyline, the filmography, the music... everything about it is good.... and it is also a nice feeling to finally see good Mexican movies happening in the latest years.
