Perhaps controversial probably vain

So we see a fresh Mexican cinema being made and I can't deny that. To me it seems like if themes like the ones they deal: church corruption, endangered faith, etc have been in the mind of many Mexican Catholics, but till recently nobody seemed to express them. Those are the positives things I can say. For the rest of the people they seemed to enjoy the humor, which in the process also seems to lighten the dramatic parts, and no longer can we take the characters and situations seriously.

The theme of the movie, whichever it was, seems to get lost in the over packed story; you'll get drug trafficking, abortions, retarded girls, newspaperman, priest, clerics and else. Supposedly the director didn't have in mind to create a social or religious critique, `he was minding the characters', but really… a beautiful classical music doesn't fix the carelessness of the director towards the emotional reality.
