The truth is, the pace of this movie made me not get fed up despite its long length, but the story is really very bad.

A lot has already been said about this movie and most of it is true, from my point of view, I think that the way in which the celebrity situation that the movie is based on, is approached is not the best, since it puts her in a vulnerable situation, where she is literally dominated by men, but without any justification or development of why this happens, leading the film to be misogynistic with this celebrity and turning everything she went through into a spectacle. There are also too many uncomfortable scenes to see that they don't even have a justification for why they are there, they make visible the abuses of power that Marilyn experienced, but in a very morbid way, although it seems that it is about portraying how horrible that was, I don't think that these scenes create a reflection in the audience, only makes us feel uncomfortable and even bad for having seen that.

Biopics are usually made to see the reality behind the lives of artists or celebrities that all or many of us know, but honestly we only want to know the gossip about their personal life, something that this film does half, since it tells a little of her private life and she never develops properly as a real person, because the movie never tells us what she thought or what she would fictitiously do.

One of the few things that can be salvaged is the performance of Ana de Armas, which is surprising, I think she did a lot of work to prepare for such a monumental personality, despite the horrible story that this movie tells and the horrible way in which they expose Marilyn.

My expectations were very high for this project, so it was disappointing to see this story, in addition to dishonoring the memory of such a great celebrity, it ends up being very uncomfortable to watch because of its explicit scenes that are only there for curiosity, Ana de Armas It's not enough to save the movie, it's a shame that all of her projects this year have been gruesome.

This movie is completely boring and without grace.

Of so many things that the film has wrong, I don't know which was the worst, the so null script and poor in story, the awful direction or the bad performances. I think the biggest mistake was the script, which gives us an interesting story at the beginning, but then only gives us something very predictable and at the same time forgettable, the writer's lack of interest in giving us a good story completely ruins the intention of this movie. I also found it very boring, as there wasn't much interesting going on that related to the main premise, just unnecessarily long subplots that didn't add much. The ending was very predictable, it was very obvious what was coming. Although at the beginning it has some promising scenes, we don't see scenes like these again during the whole movie.

The performances are horrible, I never completely believed the characters, it would be understood if they were just any actor, but the entire cast is renowned and we know how talented they are, that's why they should have done much better, although it could also be due to the poor direction of the film.

It's not even an entertaining movie, it's totally forgettable and very lazy on telling an interesting story, the writer's lack of commitment is noticeable, it's a shame that all the actors involved end up muddy in the failure of this movie.

This movie is classified as a comedy, but it is actually more of a personal drama about identity discovery.

The plot was a big surprise for me, what was going to be a predictable romantic comedy was totally different, which was its greatest success. At first I was confused because I thought it was going to be a story of bisexuality, but my great surprise was that it was directed towards homosexuality, something that Mexican films had not dealt with, in fact I do not remember any recent Mexican film that its plot focuses in a homosexual drama or romance, something that works for good in this film, since the supposed representations have been poorly planned and very problematic. In addition, the drama increases thanks to the problems of the protagonist's family, which adds more flavor to the plot. The way of the discovery of the identity of the main character is approached, is excellently executed, it is noted that the writer was based on a real situation, since it is easy to identify with something that this character is going through. It was very pleasant to follow that character and his discovery of his sexuality, despite the drama, I managed to empathize with him most of the time.

Although sometimes it becomes annoying that after several scenes he continues to deny reality. I also liked that the story is not completely pretty, it has its dark side, just like in life, combining romance and drama. Also captivating are the performances of the entire cast, which reflect sincerity and quality work on the part of the director and the actors. But one thing I didn't like was that sometimes it seems like there are a lot of sequences that look like music videos, just putting clips of what's happening with music in the background. Just as I didn't like some scenes that seemed copied from 'Call me by your name'.

For me, it ends up being a slightly different Mexican film, due to its plot and the themes it portrays, which works correctly as a story that entertains and also brings to the table themes that had not been dealt with in Mexican films.
