Les deux hémisphères de Lucca

All those who get emotional and cry during tear jerkers and sentimental movies will like this movie too. So they are advised to get their box of tissues and settle down.

The movie is based on the memoirs of some years back of the parents of a child afflicted with cerebral palsy who are told that there is no cure for the disease in Mexico. They then travel from Mexico to India to get their son treated after they hear about this miracle cure in India though still at an experimental stage.

All parents specially those who have been through similar experiences connected to family will relate immensely to the story and sequences. The movie keeps the emotions understated without going overboard and maybe that is its strength and highlight. It is moving, inspirational and all about the resilient nature of determined human spirit.

All credit is due to the director Mariana Chenillo and the two actors who play the parents ( Barbara Mori and Juan Pablo Medina ). The scenes are touching, heartwarming and realistic. Audiences will find themselves immersed in the emotional storyline. Most scenes relate to medical procedures in hospitals and recovery at home. Surprisingly the movie is not boring at any point and one remains absorbed throughout.

It's truly unfair that such a moving story was given such a mediocre film adaptation. The performances are atrocious at best, with no chemistry between the actors-everything feels stiff and painfully forced. The script has the depth and finesse of an average soap opera, filled with predictable dialogue and melodramatic clichés. Even the technical aspects are shockingly poor; at times, the background music drowns out the dialogue, making it hard to follow.

The storytelling is equally disjointed, as if the scenes were strung together with duct tape rather than flowing naturally. Emotional moments arrive not as an organic culmination of the narrative but as clumsy demands for tears. It's one of those films that doesn't just invite you to cry-it practically threatens you into it, making you feel guilty if you don't. A wasted opportunity for what could have been a truly powerful film.

Lucca's World is a poignant film that plunges viewers into the world of unconditional love and courage in the face of adversity. It tells the story of two Mexican parents whose son, Lucca, was born with neurological disabilities. With great sensitivity, the film illustrates their daily struggle, their unshakable energy and their constant hope to see their son cured.

A journey of sacrifice and hope Lucca's family faces enormous financial challenges, but that doesn't stop them from seeking solutions to improve their son's health. Their quest takes them to Bangalore, India, where they decide to try a new treatment called Cytotron. This bold choice is further proof of their unwavering dedication and willingness to sacrifice everything for Lucca's well-being.

Inspiring characters The film's characters are played with great authenticity, paying tribute to the strength and resilience of Lucca's parents. Each actor brings a touching depth and humanity to his or her role, capturing the complex nuances of parental love and personal sacrifice. Lucca, for his part, is admirable in his determination and gradual evolution towards recovery.

A message of hope and positivity Lucca's World is much more than just a film; it's a feel-good movie that reminds us that love and acceptance are the keys to recovery.

Absolutely Inspiring , shows how to believe in oneself and going beyond possibilities especially when it concerns family members and emotions.

What a journey. Unconditional love. What sacrifice. Single pointed focus...... the characters were so genuine... Everyone in the family played such a significant role and went that extra mile. Good human beings on the right path can definitely move mountains come what may.... The limitations of doctors, the politics, the spiritual strength everything fades away when it comes to once inner strength .

This can happen only and only by a mother and nonr other... do watch and see the change in you.

Wow !!!

This film takes on a deeply emotional subject-a couple navigating the challenges of having a child with cerebral palsy after a traumatic birth. While the premise has the potential to be powerful and moving, the execution falls flat. The pacing is slow, the storytelling lacks urgency, and the characters feel distant, making it difficult to connect with their struggles.

Instead of drawing the audience into an intimate, emotional journey, the film keeps them at arm's length. The dialogues often feel unnatural, and key moments that should evoke strong emotions come across as lifeless. There is little to no character development, making it hard to invest in their hardships. The lack of nuance in the performances and direction further weakens the film's impact.

What could have been a heartfelt exploration of resilience, love, and adaptation ends up feeling uninspired and overly drawn out. It lacks both depth and intensity, leaving the story forgettable rather than thought-provoking. A subject this important deserves a much stronger and more engaging film.
