Dime Cuándo Tú

I am incredibly shocked to see the low rating here. I expected the average rating to be in the 7s. If nothing else, please take from my review that you should give this a chance!

Perhaps the issue is that these viewers went into it expecting something different. It is a romantic comedy but it's more layered, intimate, and subtle than the average film in this genre. Where so many romcoms go wrong is that the entire focus is on the romance, which is very often based upon only a couple interactions, unrealistic.

Quite the opposite with this one: the secondary characters were fleshed out, the location and setting was well represented. And the couple ACTUALLY spent enough time together, in situations where they could genuinely get to know each other, that you could believe they could realistically fall in love, not just infatuation or sexual attraction.

I don't want to give away spoilers but I will say that I enjoyed the comparisons between the main characters grandfather and grandmother's romance, and how it related to his relationship with his new friend. And the inclusion of others in their love story which gives a hint that sometimes the road to lifelong love isn't one grand gesture, but taking things slow, really getting to know each other, and building upon a friendship first.

Any successful long-term marriage/relationship, in real life, is based on friendship. That's something that most romance movies forget. There were also some stylistic choices that I felt did a great job finding a creative way to express the feelings we all experience when it comes to love.

Give this film a chance, if you are the sort of person who wants to watch a different kind of romcom. You'd have to go into it knowing that it's going to be more subtle. Not boring, just subtle. If you go into that attitude and expectation I think you'll have a better time

A wonderful film, representing Mexican cinema making really well, and something that I think over time more people will "get" and might even become a cult classic.

I've never written a review, but after reading some of these harsh criticisms, I felt the need to do so.

The scrip is a pretty standard Rom-Com, but it feels fresh and lighthearted. It has a sincere feel to it, keeping you engaged and involved with the main characters.

The movie feels more like a love letter to DF, Mexico City, with interesting characters/performances that help you connect to the city and the group.

The story is simple, but interesting to keep your attention. I believe it's more of a tale about friendship rather than love, and it does a good job at separating itself from a basic Rom-Com.

Knowing this is the Directors first movie, I'm excited to see more, and hope he continues to utilize his lighthearted and sincere style that could make people fall in love with his movies.

Fun, some good funny scenes, very cliché, but cool, our eternal Maria Joaquina (Ludwika Paleta) ...

It was a light, fun and enjoyable movie. Worth the watch.

What hooked me in was the uplifting vibe I got from the trailer. It started of well with the grandpa's mentorship. I was led to believe that was his want in this film, but got lost in itself. The story is not clear, plus the tempo is very slow and dry with a rare touch of charm. The sound design came with a soundtrack that didn't fit (don't get me wrong, I love that songs but they didn't fit) if you're trying to find something to put on while you sleep, this is perfect for you. Long beats of silence, make it more uncomfortable that it should.

I wanted to like this, but it felt so open ended and confusing. This could've been way shorter and still say the same thing.
