And that means, the plot isn't linear, it's not about "good" vs "evil", there's no explosions, it doesn't have a zillion cuts and edits, and it's not fast paced. So. If you like that "comic booky" kind of film, run. Run fast. Run hard. Run away.
But if you like films that aren't obvious. If you like movies that don't come out and "just say things". If you like Latin American literature, like Gabriel Garcia Marques, or Borges (this movie has a non-linearity reminiscent of them), and if you like filmmaking closer to Buñuel than Lucas, give this one a try.
It's a good show. It's well done. It's very satisfying. And it's very human. How many of us have wanted a second chance? Or third? If only we could revisit all our many mistakes.
