Wasn´t expecting much
5 December 2019
I went to watch this movie expecting to hate it. When i saw the trailer i thought it was going to be, like the title of another review, stylish garbage. Is not that. I am 33 and from latinamerica, where regeton is very dominant... and i hate regeton, i find that is vulgar, and repetitive. So, to go watch a movie that focus that much on that type of music was a surprise for me, becasue i loved it. Aesthetically, is brilliant. I found that the image is sublime and the music was immersive and defiant. Combined with dances is used as a mean for micro revolutions in the plot. Also is quite interesting how regeton personifies a battle for philosofical discussion between Gael garcia (whos character is in his 30´s and has a conservative pov) and Mariana Di Girolamo (whos character is in her early 20´s and has a progressive pov). Most of the interpretations are brilliant Finally, the script is not the strongest pont, but unfolds as the movie develops, showing just enough until the final part. If you have a chovinist, conservative or boomer mentality, you will hate this movie, that is guaranteed
