Nossos Tempos

My thoughts:

Entertaining and clever, mostly.

There are some weirdos, no doubt misogynists, out there reviewing films. They had one DeLorean, in one scene, for just a few seconds, as a subtle nod to Back to the Future and one idiot was like, 'They imitated Back to the Future the whole movie!' 😆

The bad reviews are red-tarded.

It's not the best movie in the history of cinema, but for the type of movie it is, '60s science geek couple travel 60 years into the future to find women's inequality has mostly disappeared, which tests their relationship,' it's actually pretty good.

Some of the nerds are tripping all over themselves to lament the lack of 'tech cool, CGI driven action' and totally missing the humor, social conflict and pathos that makes this film unique and interesting. I doubt some of them even know what a joke is.

It doesn't get the main theme quite right, as I don't see Hector, the male lead who praises the couple's love as an 'omnipresent force in the past and the future' shallowly abandoning the love of his life when he loses a few of the advantages of male entitlement. Any real scientist, especially an only child with no real ties to the past, would've been thrilled with the advances in science and technology and opted to stay in the future. He also would've seen the second class citizenship of women in the past as objectively wrong, adapted to the new, merit based, fairer world and looked for a way to fit in from the get go.

So it wasn't perfect, but well worth watching.

It's a fun film. Not groundbreaking, but it still manages to cause some excitement, laughs, and moments of thoughtfulness .

The cinematography is quite great, and there's a lot of effort behind this production. The sets and decoration are fantastic. The wardrobe very well crafted.

The acting is quite on par with the main actors abilities, Mexican icons in their own rights. And the rest of the talent does not fall behind.

The script is basic, don't expect a deep story. If you go in without much expectations, you'll get pleasantly surprised.

If you're looking for a fun watch with a message, this is it!

A lovely, sweet and poignant film that asks: Are we really victims of our times, and if so -- is it by choice -- or convenience -- or both? This film is a Romance-SciFi that also highlights the "Pendulum Effect" of change in human evolution; especially with regard to gender. Changes that some adapt to better than others. I thought the content of this film was relevant for our times; especially here in the USA where 70 million Americans appear to want to turn back the clock to an era that benefitted the few at the sacrifice of many -- but that's a much more complex story for another post.

FILM PROS: Great Acting and Dialogue FILM CONS: It could have better story development. I felt the film could have delved deeper into perceived notions of gender from 1966 to 2025, rather than bluntly end the film on a more "Novela" style romantic note.

Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was really pleased to see the great Mexican actress, Ofelia Medina, back in the limelight.

This is a thought-provoking sci-fi romance that uses time travel and gender roles to highlight how the most impactful societal changes are not technological, but social. The film pushes some boundaries in this regard and encourages viewers to reflect on how the world has changed-and continues to change-and how those changes are experienced by different people.

Some viewers have pointed out plot holes, but this movie isn't meant to be taken too literally. While certain inconsistencies are hard to ignore, they don't significantly affect the narrative. For example, it's hardly essential to worry about how time travelers from the past managed to buy train tickets-we can simply assume they rode without one, if that's easier.

The acting is solid throughout and suits the characters well. These are scientists-not eccentric inventors like Doc Brown in Back to the Future-but more grounded portrayals of physicists. They're realistic people with personal lives beyond the lab, holding both liberal and conservative views in different areas. And yes, they have romantic relationships too.

Overall, I enjoyed this film. It never felt boring, and the story moved steadily forward, with twists that weren't exactly surprising, but felt inevitable in a satisfying way. Some viewers may feel uncomfortable, while others may feel seen-but in the end, the film delivers a powerful message and explores timely, relevant issues. It's hard to argue with the underlying truths, even when they're wrapped in fiction.

I think the genre isn't right; it's not a Sci-fi film. I think it carries a message of gender ideology, and it's not right to categorize it as something it isn't, as that can create false expectations. The film dubbing and makeup, especially at the end, are very poor. But I think the final message, some of the acting, and the essence of the film aren't bad; On the contrary, it sends a very powerful message about the role of women in society, the generation gap, the women relevance in society today, and the path women have taken through the time. And no, I'm not the one who thinks that the movies has to send a message, but I think the message of this movie is a good one.
