Featured reviews
It is a shocking film that portrays the reality that is lived in Colombia; the plot is decent and the acting is good; it is recommended.
Very mediocre film that lacks script. Mediocre directing and editing. The only remarkable thing is Javier Camara's and Patricia Tamayo's acting.
I struggled with this question while I was watching the movie, you feel different emotions while reading the book and other completely different watching the movie. Sometimes what happens in the book is not entirely portraited in the movie. Rating the movie leaving behind the novel, is a story very important to know for me as a colombian, and for a foreigner is momentous.
The story line was clear and the director played with the B&W and colored cinematography to execute the transition between the different stages of Hector Jr life. Taking into account the decades, the scenery and costumes where nicely built with some points to improve. Some of the most emotional scenes were strongly performed and filmed, you could feel and get to that moment of catarsis.
Stories like these need to be well known and I think cinema is a really great way to do it.

This film represents a reality in Latin American countries, where small elite groups manage politics and make decisions that affect many for their own benefits and economic interests, countries where a football game is promoted more than the importance of a good education, countries where few have all and most of the population nothing. Latin America has suffered since its conquest (NO DISCOVERY) in the 16th century and still continues to suffer new wounds while trying to heal the old ones. I have seen it and continue to see it in Honduras. Thank you for making this type of film, as well as "La Llorona" by Jayro Bustamante, cuz they allow these stories not to be lost as the intellectual authors of these crimes would like, they also help us to cure Latin America but do not forget. The technical aspect that I appreciated the most about the film was the black and white photography, really beautiful.
It's a good movie in general. But I think the movie gets short on terms of generating the feelings that the book transmits.
