holy sh**t
I was vaguely of the cONtroverSies with representation and language and all this stuff, and the hype followed by vicious backlash around this movie, but not the details so I was curious and heck it's on Netflix anyway.
Well what I was not expecting was the absolute shambolic nature of the production and presentation. There is acting but it's laughable. There is dialogue and while I'm not a native Spanish speaker it still came across as stilted and inhuman. Entire scene are poorly lit, awkwardly framed, uncomposed. Maybe it's an "artistic" decision but it really just seems like crap film-making.
And the songs... dear lord. I felt like I was watching people discuss ideas for songs as if they were writing them, not watching the finished product. I legit thought for a sec I accidentally selected to watch some making-of documentary of the movie instead of the actual movie.
I also have a thousand other complaints but you get the point, this movie just plain sucks. Halfway through I just embraced it as a so-bad-it's-good experience.
