Adela Noriega and René Strickler in El privilegio de amar (1998)

Review by bryanalejo-76217

El privilegio de amar

9/10

Overshadows it original for a reason

This is perhaps the best of all adaption of Delia Fiallo's Cristal. It's biggest strength is it's three main antagonists, all of which I can't decide who is the better one, the story somehow manages to at times make you feel pity for some of them despite their misdeeds, but they don't overshadow the just as talented four main protagonist actors, they all bring such greatness that there really is no right answer on who is the actual male or female lead between the four, all of which commit a few sins themselves. This is another strength of the story, the good and bad characters are not so black and white which is what I see nowadays with Mexican telenovelas. As mentioned earlier in this review, sometimes you find yourself sympathizing for the villains and at times feel let down by heroes. The only complaint is that there will come a time in the full story where about seven or some episodes are just a bunch of memories from the story, it was actually the most frustrating part and seemed like a lazy attempt to add episodes. Nevertheless I am willing to forgive them for creating a wonderful story with unforgettable characters and plot twists.
