Due emisferi

All those who get emotional and cry during tear jerkers and sentimental movies will like this movie too. So they are advised to get their box of tissues and settle down.

The movie is based on the memoirs of some years back of the parents of a child afflicted with cerebral palsy who are told that there is no cure for the disease in Mexico. They then travel from Mexico to India to get their son treated after they hear about this miracle cure in India though still at an experimental stage.

All parents specially those who have been through similar experiences connected to family will relate immensely to the story and sequences. The movie keeps the emotions understated without going overboard and maybe that is its strength and highlight. It is moving, inspirational and all about the resilient nature of determined human spirit.

All credit is due to the director Mariana Chenillo and the two actors who play the parents ( Barbara Mori and Juan Pablo Medina ). The scenes are touching, heartwarming and realistic. Audiences will find themselves immersed in the emotional storyline. Most scenes relate to medical procedures in hospitals and recovery at home. Surprisingly the movie is not boring at any point and one remains absorbed throughout.

It's truly unfair that such a moving story was given such a mediocre film adaptation. The performances are atrocious at best, with no chemistry between the actors-everything feels stiff and painfully forced. The script has the depth and finesse of an average soap opera, filled with predictable dialogue and melodramatic clichés. Even the technical aspects are shockingly poor; at times, the background music drowns out the dialogue, making it hard to follow.

The storytelling is equally disjointed, as if the scenes were strung together with duct tape rather than flowing naturally. Emotional moments arrive not as an organic culmination of the narrative but as clumsy demands for tears. It's one of those films that doesn't just invite you to cry-it practically threatens you into it, making you feel guilty if you don't. A wasted opportunity for what could have been a truly powerful film.

A true story and also based on a book named two hemispheres. This emotional drama is based on a Mexican couple who is determined to help their son who has cerebral palsy .

With all debt and high risk journey they take their son Lucca to India (bangalore) for a experimental treatment.

The film focuses on LUCCAS treatment using the Cytroten device which was invented by Dr Kumar from bangalore.

Do Google Cytroten device you will get more info.

The movie talks about their unconditional love, their sacrifices and their commitment to help their child with disabilities .

The family faces so many challenges like money, travel, treatment issues, their jobs etc but they never give up and always had faith that things will be fine and there is always hope ,always light and always love A very emotional and inspiring movie .the main actors have played the role with so much intensity especially the mothers character played by Barbara Mori A must watch ..highly recommend everyone to watch this movie.

It's available on Netflix #netflixmovies #netflixandchill #netflixrecommendation #moviereview #LuccasWorld #Netflix.

You can't watch this movie without wanting to like it. It is - from the start - a movie you want to like. It screams for you to like it. Who wouldn't be drawn in, rooting for a woman who's fighting everything and everyone to get treatment for her severely disabled young son. Barbara overcomes financial challenges, medical challenges, political challenges. She works against some sleazy backroom stuff going on - all to get treatment for her son in a "cytotron" - a "miracle" medical device invented by Dr. Kumar and only found in India. You want her to succeed. You want this movie to be good. So - why does the movie feel so distant emotionally? The connection just isn't there.

I'll concede - it's a Mexican movie, and so the audio is Spanish. I chose to watch a version dubbed into English, and maybe that wasn't the wisest choice. Whoever the voice actors were - I didn't think they really captured the essence of the story. The voice acting was flat and lifeless. There was a blandness to much of the audio, and without hearing the voices of the actual cast it's hard to know whether the voice over actors were mirroring them or whether they just didn't do a very good job. If I were to watch it again (I wouldn't - that ship has sailed) I'd watch a subtitled version and listen to how the actors portrayed their characters. It might have made the experience more enjoyable.

I suppose I also have to confess to being kind of a skeptic about these kinds of stories. When I first saw the movie's description, it mentioned something about a "miracle treatment" in India - and I thought this was going to be some outlandish "faith healing from a guru" kind of story. It wasn't. The cytotron appears to be a very real medical device. But I remain skeptical. I can't find much about the cytotron online aside from promotional websites that stress how the FDA has given the cytotron a "Breakthrough Device Designation." Which sounds impressive - but what it really means is that it isn't approved. It means they're checking it out; taking a look at it. And that was back in 2019, so I can't find anything about its current status. So Lucca's story is an anecdote at best.

I'm sorry - I want this to be true. It's called a true story, it's based on a book written by the mom. If the story is true I can respect Barbara for not letting anything stop her in her quest for the best chance for her son's treatment. That's inspiring. But I have to be honest - I remain skeptical about the device, and I can't escape the feeling that this movie is basically just another piece of promotion for the device. (4/10)

This film takes on a deeply emotional subject-a couple navigating the challenges of having a child with cerebral palsy after a traumatic birth. While the premise has the potential to be powerful and moving, the execution falls flat. The pacing is slow, the storytelling lacks urgency, and the characters feel distant, making it difficult to connect with their struggles.

Instead of drawing the audience into an intimate, emotional journey, the film keeps them at arm's length. The dialogues often feel unnatural, and key moments that should evoke strong emotions come across as lifeless. There is little to no character development, making it hard to invest in their hardships. The lack of nuance in the performances and direction further weakens the film's impact.

What could have been a heartfelt exploration of resilience, love, and adaptation ends up feeling uninspired and overly drawn out. It lacks both depth and intensity, leaving the story forgettable rather than thought-provoking. A subject this important deserves a much stronger and more engaging film.
