Death of a Fool

It's really unusual to find a movie that is full of kind and caring characters, and is, most of all, about the love of a young man for his grandfather. Of course, played by the inimitable Mario Ernesto Sanchez, much-loved leader of the Miami / Hispanic Theater scene, how could he be anything but lovable? Benji Leon does a great job as the concerned teenager, with Gene Gabriel being suitable creepy as the Mysterious Man. Zully Montero is as lovely as ever, although she turns out to be something a little unexpected too. And Beatrice Leiva has a small role in which she is positively luminous! Beautifully written and directed by first time director, Ismael Gomez III, this is a truly Miami story, full of recognizably Miami characters. And the rabbits are pretty good too!

This was our family's Holiday movie and it was perfect. A heartwarming and fun movie. You really feel the connection between Pablo and his grandfather, and how much they care about each other. The story is very unpredictable with twists around every corner. The director does a great job in keeping us at the edge of our seats.

The movie is a fun detective caper that kids will enjoy, but also keeps adult viewers fully engrossed with topics like religion, death, and the afterlife. This is a great family film.

A low budget movie employing kind of Agatha Cristie's investigation but dealing with interesting topic: eternal life! There is nothing exceptional here: average screenplay, acting and directing are blended evenly to a film which is quite watchable!

So, if you want to see something slightly different, give it a go!

I've always enjoyed mystery movies and this one had me guessing every 5 minutes what the next turning point would be. A captivating cast and an unexpected ending made it truly enjoyable for my family and I.

Worth checking out if you like independent movies with a strong theme, tender characters, and a solid story. It's a whimsical kind of movie that explores life and death. I believe it's something I could have watched with my whole family (perhaps 10 or 12 years and older).
