Re loca

"Re Loca" is an Argentinean take on the Chilean movie "Sin Filtro", which has had many remakes all around the world - Spain, Mexico, Italy, Panama and Peru. In "Re Loca" the title character is played by talented Uruguayan actress Natalia Oreiro. She is the soul of the movie, she truly embodied her character and despite the movie being a remake, Oreiro makes the character look like written specifically for her.

The director Martino Zaidelis managed to make a movie of highest cinematographic quality, equal (or even better) to any Hollywood movie. The cinematography, editing and especially the soundtrack are superb. All actors in supporting roles get a chance to shine while creating credible characters that we all know from our daily lives - know-it-all boss, aggressive drivers, lazy service or social media addicted friend. This creates an essence to a story of empowerment and journey to find ones enjoyment of life.

The movie snowballs into series of funny moments, but also leads to realisation of how to break free from daily stereotypes. The movie has a unique ending with powerful message.

Overall, "Re Loca" is a beautiful drama comedy with strong female character that can be enjoyed by anyone at any occasion.

I just tried to watch Re Loca. I had already seen the Spanish version Sin Rodeos (the original is from Chile), and I liked it . But in the Argentinian version, what Natalia Oreiro does is painful to see. She is a bad actress, with little redeemable elements, but the character she plays doesn't help. Her character is supposed to become strong, assertive, bold. But instead, she turns out being cruel, rude and vulgar. Her transformation is not funny or inspiring as it was in the previous versions. So all in all, the movie fails miserably.
