DhariaLezin For the very first time in Mexican contemporary cinema, I see a movie where I actually like each single one of the actors (and actresses, obviously). They are fabulous. They are entirely believable, the reactions are awesome, the characters are not stupid and empty and each single one of them has essence. Hurray for Francisco Franco Alba, the director, that despite of directing loads of characters, he got every single one to stand out over the rest because each one is different and has its own issues, he got it. The cast is of course great, I know many of them from different movies but together create a perfectly realistic and chaotic life of the backstage of the Mexican theater. Some selfish, some junkies, some shy, some kind of divas, some confused, but where the only thing that keeps them together is the willing to see their theater play on a premiere night. And between all this chaos, some of them are really and actually funny, and still, keeping the tone of the movie. I didn't like the script too much though because it takes forever for something to happen and at the end, the premiere, gets to a common place that we've always seen in movies. After everything against them, they finally make it to the premiere night, and the play runs (of course). I think that for once I would have liked something different to happen because the same old ending makes it entirely predictable. Since the very beginning you know that the play is gonna run in the last scene... and it does. But despite this, all the cast gives a very old common place story a lot of flavor, color and funny drama.
