Os dois hemisférios de Lucca

In these days of plethora of mediocre shows and movies poured on you all round the OTT space, and you browse through nonchalantly alloting not more than 10 minutes per flick, Lucca was a pleasant surprise. You connect with the true-to-life characters. However much the narration may have been manipulated to fit into movie format, it is based on a true story.

Actors did well, especially the lead. Director deserves a pat for portraying the character of Lucca so realistic.

The voiceover was outright bad prompting me to bring down the rating. Dialogues too were no match to the powerful story.

I am not sure about the medical authenticity and relevance of the highlighted treatment. But the redtape, the foulness, and the greed prevalent in the medical world incapacitating the good work of few individuals is more than true.

A true story and also based on a book named two hemispheres. This emotional drama is based on a Mexican couple who is determined to help their son who has cerebral palsy .

With all debt and high risk journey they take their son Lucca to India (bangalore) for a experimental treatment.

The film focuses on LUCCAS treatment using the Cytroten device which was invented by Dr Kumar from bangalore.

Do Google Cytroten device you will get more info.

The movie talks about their unconditional love, their sacrifices and their commitment to help their child with disabilities .

The family faces so many challenges like money, travel, treatment issues, their jobs etc but they never give up and always had faith that things will be fine and there is always hope ,always light and always love A very emotional and inspiring movie .the main actors have played the role with so much intensity especially the mothers character played by Barbara Mori A must watch ..highly recommend everyone to watch this movie.

It's available on Netflix #netflixmovies #netflixandchill #netflixrecommendation #moviereview #LuccasWorld #Netflix.

Absolutely Inspiring , shows how to believe in oneself and going beyond possibilities especially when it concerns family members and emotions.

What a journey. Unconditional love. What sacrifice. Single pointed focus...... the characters were so genuine... Everyone in the family played such a significant role and went that extra mile. Good human beings on the right path can definitely move mountains come what may.... The limitations of doctors, the politics, the spiritual strength everything fades away when it comes to once inner strength .

This can happen only and only by a mother and nonr other... do watch and see the change in you.

Wow !!!

It's truly unfair that such a moving story was given such a mediocre film adaptation. The performances are atrocious at best, with no chemistry between the actors-everything feels stiff and painfully forced. The script has the depth and finesse of an average soap opera, filled with predictable dialogue and melodramatic clichés. Even the technical aspects are shockingly poor; at times, the background music drowns out the dialogue, making it hard to follow.

The storytelling is equally disjointed, as if the scenes were strung together with duct tape rather than flowing naturally. Emotional moments arrive not as an organic culmination of the narrative but as clumsy demands for tears. It's one of those films that doesn't just invite you to cry-it practically threatens you into it, making you feel guilty if you don't. A wasted opportunity for what could have been a truly powerful film.

This film takes on a deeply emotional subject-a couple navigating the challenges of having a child with cerebral palsy after a traumatic birth. While the premise has the potential to be powerful and moving, the execution falls flat. The pacing is slow, the storytelling lacks urgency, and the characters feel distant, making it difficult to connect with their struggles.

Instead of drawing the audience into an intimate, emotional journey, the film keeps them at arm's length. The dialogues often feel unnatural, and key moments that should evoke strong emotions come across as lifeless. There is little to no character development, making it hard to invest in their hardships. The lack of nuance in the performances and direction further weakens the film's impact.

What could have been a heartfelt exploration of resilience, love, and adaptation ends up feeling uninspired and overly drawn out. It lacks both depth and intensity, leaving the story forgettable rather than thought-provoking. A subject this important deserves a much stronger and more engaging film.
