This is a low budget film that tries to depict the life of Maria Montez. The acting is wooden and amateurish, the camera work poor and the script a very childishly written one. The scenes appear to be vignettes from either oral history or someone's recollections, woven together to create a very weak tapestry for a story. It just does not engage. Maybe it does better with a "hometown" audience, but offers little in the way of global appeal. It's difficult to know whether this is based on well researched facts or just hearsay. The latter seems to be the more probable method! Woven into the badly written script is a little native culture that refers to Afro-Caribbean deities etc. It's just not a well made film!
