    Hard to recommend, but intense.

    I watched this expecting a movie about a man coming out late in life, disrupting his marriage, then watching the struggle and growth.

    Instead what I got was a very dark movie that felt both anti-gay and anti-religious, and woefully depressing as it goes on to just show how everything and everyone (including his own parents) aims to destroy this man's life.

    Set in Guatemala, an area I am unfamiliar with socially, it shows us how he is harshly, and uncomfortably, punished at work, with family, at church, socially, legally, and most disturbing, even medically. I do not know if this is a statement movie about Guatemalan culture, or just the harsh religious factors in the movie, but it makes for a very downbeat result.

    The actors do well in their parts, though the chemistry between the two lovers could have been stronger. That was just bad writing and directing. The rest of the film itself is directed well.

    The ending was severely depressing, and it just emphasizes that movies work better if there is a glimmer of hope, or even just growth by the end. This was just morbid.

    If this is a statement film on Guatamalan culture, this needs to stop now. However, if this is just the writer's idea of good drama, he needs to lighten up. While the subject matter is real, it seems dated because most countries ban the activities shown in the film. However, I repeat, I know nothing about Guatamala.

    I wanted to like this more because I loved the star of the movie, but the bad taste it left me with, and didn't expect, made this a downer. I would only recommend this for viewers who want a movie to reflect deeply on, and see the darker side of gay life some people experience.

    Some brief nudity, but not highly sexual. Also, scenes of mild torture, deception, and cruelty.

    Married gay guy living in a Nazi hell hole....

    Story takes place in modern day Central America and seriously, it might seem more appropriate if it had taken place in Nazi Germany. An ultra conservative, wealthy, holy roller family and sadistic church leaders practicing homo conversion therapy puts enormous pressure on a middle-aged, married gay guy with children to conform to their expectations. The plot would be more convincing if the married gay guy were much younger, in which case we would expect him to be more vulnerable to family, religious and societal pressures. But here we see an older, gay guy, who has recently come out, but doesn't yet seem to have a strong enough mind to overcome the steaming piles of BS that are being heaped upon him at every turn. On the other hand, his gay boyfriend has totally accepted what he is and what he likes. He makes no apologies for what he likes to do with other consenting adults. The actor playing Pablo has a lean, tall, masculine, athletic build...unfortunately we don't get to see much of it. Pretty much a bummer of a movie....not much visually that's interesting or pretty. The story line, as told, doesn't seem very likely. There's a paradox here of sorts....the primary character, Pablo, looks strong and mature, but he's just a baby inside. He can't think for himself and relies upon others to think for him. Six stars for a respectable attempt.

    Guatemalan Drama

    Set in Guatemala, Pablo (Juan Pablo Olyslager) faces a crisis in his life when he reveals to his family that he is gay and will be moving out to be with his male partner Francisco (Mauricio Armas Zebadua).

    Pablo's wife Isa (Diane Bathen) gets the courts to issue a restraining order against him so he cannot see his two children. She eventually will threaten him that unless he enrolls in a gay conversion therapy program in their radical religious church, she will take the children to America.

    Overall, I thought this drama was solidly acted with realistic characters, as well as ably written and directed by Guatemalan filmmaker Tayro Bustamante.

    Solid But Nothing New Here

    "Temblores" is another in the "gay conversion" film genre, so, though it's a solid enough movie in its own right, it suffers from having a "been there done that" quality.

    This time around the setting is Guatemala, and the protagonist is a married man with children whose affair with another man sends his strict religious family into a tailspin. The movie marches through its predictable paces with decent if not especially memorable performances and a suitably downbeat ending.

    "Temblores" isn't a film that I'm going to spend much time mulling over or have a strong feeling about one way or the other, but it does shed light on some really backwards cultural beliefs and laws in Guatemala, so if it brings some awareness to the harm yet one more country's rigid convictions are doing to a subset of its population, I can forgive it for being a bit late to the party.

    Grade: B
