Fabricante de lágrimas

This didn't evoke emotions at all! It has the corniest most awkward and unrealistic lines, cliche and very predictable events, bad acting, stupid court scene, and what the hell kind of ending is that? If this is from a famous book which i haven't read, then this is the worst adaptation ever. This is the worst movie I've seen so far this year! A total waste of time! And who the hell dubbed it in English? The way the lines were delivered was so offputting, unnatural, and just plain weird. It made the actors look bad in acting. I dont know if it's the dubbing that's weird, or the actors. The directors did really bad in the way the entire movie was put together. The music background, the shots, the acting, the lines, the interpretation. It's bad enough that the plot sucks and has no originality but the fact that I am such a crybaby who could easily cry at the most trivial things and fall in love with the simplest things, yet this movie did not move me in any way and just basically transformed me into a stonehearted human being. The only emotion this movie unleashed from inside of me is anger. I am so disappointed for wasting my time!

I didn't read the book so I don't know if it's a good adaptation but as a movie it's.. mediocre. A shallow drama.

First though, let me just praise the leads. They really sell the chemistry for their characters. The longing and all that. Bonus that both are handsome people.

Now for the bad. The plot... while I was interested in the premise as I thought it had potential for depth it only gave me something shallow. They didn't give time for the trauma of their past to take root so it hits different. Would've been so much better if they really dug into the abuse, mental health issues, ptsd etc but everything got glossed over even during the scenes it's highlighted.

While I liked the base chemistry of the actors the actual romance between the them is non existent. They never built it up so it's just there. Very weak foundation is just not good. Because why should I care about these character's love for each other?

The most atrocious is the pacing... there's very bizarre cuts of time that forces you to fill it in yourself because they jumped over it so you're noticably missing chunks of scenes.

Shout out too for that bad insert of Olivia's song that was so out of place and the cringe acting for some of the actors.

Anyway overall this reminds me a lot of Royalteen... which to both would have been better as a limited series of sort to really delve into the characters' struggles, why they act they way they do, so you can actually empathize with them while the romance is a B-plot to create that slow burn. But alas this wasn't it.

Warning: Some brief nudity, attempted rape.

We went into The Tearsmith completely blind, not knowing it was based on a novel, and I have to say, it was a surprisingly solid pick for a Netflix foreign film, especially considering the expectations surrounding such movies. Mimikyu and Amy were all about the romance angle from the start (they were the ones who planned this movie night), and honestly, they hit the nail on the head with this one. The film's gothic atmosphere and mysterious aura grabbed Winny's attention right from the beginning. He loved the dark cinematography and how it set the mood for the entire film-it felt like a strange, beautiful world that you'd want to get lost in.

Mimikyu and Amy, true romantics at heart, were all about the chemistry between the two main characters. The way the relationship developed really spoke to them-they were totally invested in their love story. There's this emotional depth that pulls you in, and even though the characters' backstories aren't as fleshed out as we might've liked, it's still enough to keep you captivated. They both agreed that the cast did a great job in their roles, and it felt authentic, though it's clear the film is made for a younger, teen audience.

Sweet, on the other hand, was really curious about the term "The Tearsmith"-which, honestly, was one of those things that left us wondering a bit. The meaning of the term isn't fully explained, and while it adds to the mystique of the film, Sweet couldn't help but dig for a deeper understanding of it. That said, the film does a good job creating intrigue, even if some elements felt a little under-explained.

The bad parts? The movie could've dived a bit deeper into the characters and their development. The story leans heavily on the emotional connection between the leads, but at times it felt like it could've used a bit more substance. Also, some of the plot points felt rushed towards the end, which left us a bit confused. Still, the movie is visually stunning and the atmosphere makes up for some of these shortcomings.

All in all, The Tearsmith is a solid romantic drama that's dark, mysterious, and emotional. If you're into films that lean into mood over fast-paced action, then this is definitely worth a watch. Just be prepared for a somewhat slow burn and a few unanswered questions. But if you're a fan of emotionally charged romance with a touch of gothic allure, this one's for you.

Rating: 7/10.

Let's be real, whenever you watch one of this movies on Netflix, you know exactly what you're getting into.

I don't understand the amount of hate I saw in other reviews. It's not be best movie, but it's entertaining, acting is not bad, there's tension and the premise is good enough to keep you interested.

It's true there are cringe moments, and towards the middle of the movie things get a bit rushed... some explanations are missing. Not a surprise for a Netflix romantic movie though.

*** It's a decent movie, far better than other similar movies, and I strongly recommend watching it if teen romance is what you're craving. **** On the other hand, if you're just reluctant to watch cringy teen movies but you want a love story, go ahead and watch "one day" or "about time".

The cinematography in the trailer piqued my interest because it looked absolutely beautiful and as i already watched Twilight, thought maybe this could be a better version of that because by now the maker should have known what lacked in Twilight so that this one could be better. As usual, i was wrong.

The movie didn't deliver much in terms of depth or character growth. We don't know why Margaret was so attached to Rigel and awful to Nica. No elaboration over why the couple felt compelled to adopt two teenagers, that too just by seeing Rigel playing piano. Also why they thought their romance was forbidden when they are not even related.

The sexual tension was there between the leads but still felt a bit flat. And acting in places were also flat. The supporting actors from the school were really bad and that side story of the two girls wasn't needed in the sense that it didn't add any value to the story or had any impact on Nica's friendship with them. The lackluster third act as usual made no sense, it could have been something powerful but instead the court scene was almost cheesy because i don't think anyone talks like that in court.

One thing i must gush about is the background music, especially the piano piece playing through the movie is so soulful and soothing, it was the best thing in there, sorry to the composers that their masterpieces were wasted on such a mediocre cinema.
