El derecho de Jesús - The Right of Jesús

Putting a bilingual title to the movie is a bit pretentious when there is virtually no Spanish spoken during the film. Besides Antonio Rufino, acting is really terrible, dialog is full of clichés and range from ridiculous to lame, plot is pretentious and confusing (not ambiguous, but in the huge plot holes way), there is no climax... Production is amateurish, editing is mediocre, sound is atrocious, and really, really bad directing... Whoever did the movie poster has really bad taste, it's so awful! I mean, one of the worst I've seen in my life! Production could have paid a graphic designer $50 to design a decent poster... I know it's low-budget and all, but Jesus Christ, they didn't even try to make it look appealing...

Overall, the film is awful...

El derecho de Jesus is an introspective, probably autobiographical film, in which ample space is left for the character's interior. Jesus is a character tormented by his past and worries about his family and because of his emotionality he makes bad decisions about his present relationships too. I found the actor Antonio Rufino, who plays the role of the main character, Jesus, very convincing. I sincerely think that this film should be seen keeping in mind the low budget that was spent, and appreciated as an introspective film based on the emotions of the main character and not on events. The only note that I feel like doing and on which I agree with the other reviews is that the movie poster could have been better presented, but this does not affect my evaluation of the film in its entirety.

I really enjoyed watching "El Derecho de Jesus", it is a film with a great story line which inspires an individual to strive for happiness. What i really liked about this film is that the plot really captured my attention. Not only did it capture my attention but made me want to find out what was going to happen in the end. The message it brings forth is one which motivates the viewer that all things are possible in life. The main character in the story struggles throughout his life with personal issues which he battles out in order to be accepted for who he truly is. Great film, i definitely recommend it to independent film lovers.

My friend bought this movie because the premise seem good, I wouldn't bought it simple because of the terrible cover (WTF? who the hell made it, it's so bad! ha ha), anyway, so we watched at her house. Now I'm wishing I could get back the two hours of my life that I wasted watching this trash. I'll make this as brief as I can so not to waste more precious time.

No, actually, I rather say how awful this film was. I mean, this movie was SO bad I actually felt ripped off. Even though I had seen it for free. I feel bad for my friend who bought this piece of crap film. I was furious at the waste of my time. The storyline COULD have been good, but it's not. The premise of the plot is dumb, useless, the presentation awful, the acting is awful and is an unfortunate failure in many ways, everything. The worst of them all, I think, are the painfully boring dialogs that Jesus, the main character, deliver in a lot of scenes.

In conclusion, I refuse to even comment further. I hope Jesus Galindo redeem himself by doing a less crappy film. This one should be burned, buried and forgotten. I'm miserable. I'm less of a person for seeing this. What was I thinking?

I liked the movie and actors in this...especially since it was based on a true life; where Jesus is a troubled gay, but he confronts his fears and personal demons. Congratulations to the Director, working with a very limited budget ($20,000) I give this film an A. This film won many Independent Awards in Germany, Portugal, Hollywood and more. I'm hoping for a sequel!
