Azul y no tan rosa

This was quite a good film.

Some very nice writing, acting, and filming. There are some violent, disturbing scenes in the film, but they are integral to the story. Some parts are sad, some are very funny, and others are very touching.

The characters, and their relationships to one another are very well developed through the story, and quite well acted. Nothing boring or slow about this film.

It's a touching story about identity, diversity and acceptance. There are some very touching scenes and the movie comes together beautifully.

This is a serious film, with serious themes. I don't think the title does it justice.

Bravo. Meaningful, heartwarming, real, hopeful, perseverance and full of love. We need more of such nurturing stories to embrace what true humanity is all about. Enough said. Gracias!

PS: Death to Putin death to bullies!

When i started to watch this movie, it captured my attention since the first minute. Is one of those films I enjoy from the beginning and the more I watch the more I am interested to every scene not because of its simplicity but also well directed and very objective and clear in every form of expression. It blew me away and I felt it authentic, realistic and i did not skip any scene because all of them were full of drama, comedy, romanticism, passion, surrender, love, compassion and originality! Miguel Ferrari brought in me so many reasons to believe in love not as a part of a separate individual but as a whole in a society where hate is still there specially in Latin America society where the macho stereotype is still visible and prejudices are the instruments to make it continue in this world. I also loved the relationship between a gay father and his teenage son where the different events of life in this drama made their relationship stronger found by love, understanding and trust. I really enjoyed this movie a lot!

I didn't really plan to see the film. A group of friends asked me to go and I agreed, so my expectations were really low. The movie ended up surprising me.

Azul y no tan Rosa might be one of the best Venezuelan films ever made. The story may be a bit too melodramatic, but it says a lot about tolerance and family relationships. The acting, even though not great, is decent. There are laughs, tender moments, sad moments and the movie is really nice to look at because of the locations.

I recommend this movie to anyone who thinks Venezuelan cinema is trash (which is not). It won the Goya Award for best Ibero-American Film, which represented a big win for Venezuela too.

A beautiful film from Venezuela. The title actually translates as "Blue and Not So Pink," but has been dumbed down to "My Straight Son." The movie is an exploration of things we wish were different and how we deal with them - be they the tragedies of life, first love, gender identity, physical appearance, bad relationships, or self-confidence. Every character offers a different element that they struggle with and their own unique solution. The film wraps it up in wonderful, believable relationships and intelligent dialogue. The plot takes you a bit all over the place, but the story never looses your attention. The actors are all uniformly brilliant and the emotion is genuine. Courageous and heartwarming, this is meaningful work and well worth anyone's time. One of my favourites.
