I remember seeing a film called 'nasty rabbit'. we gave up on that one after 5 minutes...
However I did manage to make it through this film.
I rented it because the story looked good. And it was. a very clever idea...
-but- the characters all felt so thin and clichéd (near-zilch character growth-fatal for art-house...), combined with some flaws in the audio and wooden acting, destroyed my hopes for this film. (María Lidón could do with a second facial expression too...) I understand that the director may be new, and she picked a good story, and made sure all the non-human elements were good. nice cinematography. terrific first few minutes (then the talking starts).
If there is one thing that the likes of 'eraserhead' and perhaps '2001' should have taught us... better to have no dialog than bad dialog...
Steve McQueen was known for wanting to replace dialog in the script simply with facial expressions or physical movement. Something he is acknowledge as being good at.
perhaps the film could be remade. perhaps it was rushed through shooting which forced them to accept crap takes....
either way I'm gonna skip 'Yo puta' and wait for something good to come from this (obviously talented) young lass..
