I had not heard about the 2015 romantic drama "Rosita" prior to sitting down here in 2022 to watch it. So I wasn't sure what to expect here from director Frederikke Aspöck. But it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and also given its storyline, then "Rosita" was definitely a movie that I had to watch.

Writers Kim Fupz Aakeson and Bergljot Bleken put together a very realistic and enjoyable storyline for "Rosita", and it is a movie that quickly sweeps up the audience and bring you on a semi-dramatic romantic tale. It was nicely written and brought to life on the screen, and the storyline definitely appealed to me and provided me with entertainment.

While the storyline here of course is somewhat exaggerated and stereotypical, then there are elements of truth to the situation that Rosita and also Johannes found themselves in, and that is what makes the movie all the more realistic and relatable.

The acting performances in "Rosita" were good. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble here, but they performed quite well. And while I am Danish and living in Denmark, I actually don't watch Danish movies often, hence these performers were all unfamiliar talents to me. But they performed nicely and brought the characters to life on the screen in a fulfilling manner.

I was definitely entertained by "Rosita", and it is a movie that is well worth watching.

My rating of "Rosita" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Caught this Netflix whilst looking for inspiration.

I would call this a perfectly decent romantic drama that father against son with both vying for the attention of a mail order Filipino bride.

Seems rather silly when you say that out loud but this is sensitively handled, is well written and very well acted by all concerned.

There are really no negative points about the movie, although it is rather short at only 80 minutes and once you realise where the plot is going, it takes a long time to get the ending.

Nevertheless, compelling and recommended if you like entries for the Sundance Festival.

I really enjoyed this despite the troubling subject matter. I think it's realistic that (many) males express their emotions as anger. Pain meets loss meets loneliness, desperate struggle
