too much love

This is a truely tragic film about a very innocent woman's struggle to come to terms with her own sexualty. I expected less than this movie delivered. Ready for something along the lines of Sexo Pudor y Lagrimas, this movie surprised me. Demasiado Amor is very much a European styled movie shot in Mexico. There is no Hollywood ending, the storyline rarely breaks into cliche, and the journey is compelling keeping what could easily have been a rather dull film entertaining. Rather, what this film delivers is a movie about deep inner conflict and emotion that, like what happens to most of us, ends up being messy and problematic. In addition, it ends without the viewer feeling patronized by a director who needs to make one feel good in the end.

not so good

After watching this film, I was a bit disappointed. While I enjoyed Karina Gidi's performance, portions of her character mystify me. The plot is not very engaging and most of the emotions/meanings of the film, while promising, never seem to deepen. The cinematography and editing were simple and average. I enjoyed myself during portions, especially the development of Gidi's character in the beginning. I think my basic problem was that the symbolisms and motifs were not developed enough to keep the tempo and narrative from lagging. The director (and the author of the novel) clearly had something to say but the film failed to make the point. A director can have an incredible concept but if he or she fails to communicate it through the film, there is nothing to look forward to but popcorn.
