Esteros

I liked the idea of this story very much, two young friends being torn apart in their youth only to be surprisingly reunited many years later. Connecting at where and who they are now, and reconnecting through their shared memories. I enjoyed the leisurely pace of the film but the storyline wasn't fortified enough throughout the film, so that I ultimately found it difficult to emotionally engage with the characters and what they were experiencing.

Showing on netflix. This one MUST have been someone's actual life story. Two friends attracted to each other as kids meet up again as adults. Except that now, one has a girlfriend. Some LONG drawn out scenes, and as others have said, the script moves pretty slowly. But I like the simplicity of the story. Conflict, and we HOPE there will be resolution. Ignacio Rogers is Matias, and Esteban Masturini is Jeronimo. They had both been in the industry about ten years. Directed by Papu Curotto, who had also directed the short upon which this is filmed. Good stuff.

A deceivingly quiet flim loaded with power hiding under the surface.

From the beauty of the estuaries (for which the fim is named) to the revealing hairstyles of the main characters, it's all there: much deeper than the estuaries themselves. the pace gives you the opportunity to take it all in, if you choose to do so.

Two childhood friends loose each other with time and are reunited by chance. There was a close bond between the two young boys. On their reunion as adults, the love is still there. As they go back to the old homestead where they once played, the now adults know what real love is and the one that moved away as a child is willing to give up a beautiful woman and a financially comfortable job for the love of his life that he had never stopped loving. Reviewers say that they were separated by their parents who noticed the boys were too close but this is not the case. The father of the boy who moved away, simply accepted a job in Buenos Aires. This is sweet, not coming of age story, but a story of when one half of a heart is reunited with its counterpart after years of separation.

Esteros is a coming-out-terms movie about a childhood friends who attracted to each other.

Matias and Jeronimo are kids who the parents friend with each other. They both are inseparable since then. Eventually they started attracted to each other as kids but unfortunately Matias's family must go to Brazil because of the job and leaving their hometown and Jeronimo.

Many years passed, Matias back to the town but he had girlfriend. Fate coming to rescue, they reunited again not knowing it beforehand and all the feeling to each other resurface.

You will see both of them trying to nostalgia the time and place when they were kids, but you also seeing the struggle from both of them. From Mati who always tries to throw away and forget whatever he felt toward his friend and Jero tries to show a hint to his friend what he felt because he's been patiently waited over the decade.

I love and I think it's sweet how Jero still do and remembering what they always do together as kids. But get frustated when found out Mati always tries to forget and remove Jero whenever he tell his girlfriend about his childhood life. But I know the reason why he doing that though.

The estuaries is beautiful, quite and relaxing. A place like that is needed nowadays. I like it.
