Amar

European film makers are specialized in pleasing a governmental commission. And sex does sell. So there is sex. And enough script for 30 minutes, pushed up to whatever the commission said it has to be.

The scenes are quite believable. The interaction is good. I am sure the production team could have made at least 4 five-minute shorts. But there is no story. And no character. It is a mere snapshot, or better yet, two successive snapshots and nothing more. The actors come from nowhere. And go nowhere. There is no evolution. And, of course, no action. Sure, the camera work is pretty good. The actors are beautiful. And that's about it: enough depth to make an excellent ad for a Spa during the Super Bowl.

A very cute couple is shown with very romantic handling. It goes on but the boy gradually and understandably develops a sense of possession so much so that behaves as if he owns the girl.. This is too much for the girl to handle. As though the boy is shown extremely eccentric ideas of liberty even not going for father sponsored college fees but opts for a hardworking wrist watch repairing!! Girl believes in trying out any thing that is on earth including drug occasional, Smokes, Drinks, Lesbianism Friendships, a different sexual partner, Prosthesis etc. She basically not box thinker. Their conflicts soon start surfacing and in one of the incidents boy even blows whistle to Police Station at the cost of his losing friendship for ever in extreme possessive force. They have their unusual locations for sex preferences as well! Some unique novelty in opting for those matters like Lift (Elevator)Tunnel room for semi privacy. Sensual sex scenes. All are very cute and the detailing of the act praiseworthy.

Although the movie has some good scenes and some of the dialogue is well written (like when teens talk to each other), the script overall is not good. We don't know a lot about characters as they are not well developed, we are not interested in them & everything that happens seems arbitrary. Although the direction is adequate and the use of light to mirror the relationship status is inspired, it's hardly innovative. Although it's obviously going for a grand statement about first love and first heartbreak and how it leaves consequences, it simply comes off as a trifle, a genre exercise that will only satisfy the target audience of teenagers in toxic relationships.

Let me start by saying that this is a visually beautiful film. I enjoyed the directing and the way it was shot. The acting was good but what killed this film for me is that I did not care for any of the characters one bit. They were all so self-absorbed and created all of their problems that I couldn't sympathize with any of them. I found myself wanting to yell at them, "You are dumb!" at so many parts. I am surprised I actually watched the whole thing because of this, but it was because it a nice looking film to watch. People are saying, "it's young love" but when the parents themselves are acting like idiots, it's not just young love, it's dumb love. So I am officially changing the title to Amar Stupida and the writing to escriba stupida.

A lot of jealousy, possession, kind of the early Stages and inmature relationship starts. Sometimes too much explicit scenes, which is not necessary for it to explain passion, but ok. On the other hand theres some extra scenes which cant add anything to the plot, so weird. Maria pedraza she is such a great actress. But still, the story, i find it very toxic. Hope we still evolve on that definition to declair it love... with time. I know they were young and reckless, but still.
