“The Dad Quest” is a Mexican film on Netflix that revisits the father-son dynamic to pose a curious question: is the bond between father and child shaped by biology, or does it come through memories and shared experiences?
“The Dad Quest” presents these questions again to offer us one of those movies that always work: a film with a charming child who doesn’t have a good relationship with his father, and who, through the narrative process of the movie, will confront these problems to solve them.
It’s a classic formula that its director, Salvador Espinosa, approaches in the most traditional way, without eccentricities in terms of form or narrative. “The Dad Quest” gives us exactly what we expect to see, in the way we expect to see it, and resolves the matter as we anticipate.
Are you expecting a family movie? Well, here it is.

Updated With Final Results (10 Pm P.T.): TelevisaUnivision’s La Casa de los Famosos México Season 2 crowned its winner on Vix following 71 days of a 24/7 livestream.
After ten weeks of competition, the four finalists of the season were Arath de la Torre, Gala Montes, Karime Pindter, and Mario Bezares.
The show became a social media and TV phenomenon, with audiences passionately voting for their favorite housemates and deciding their fate each eviction night.
The season was marred by controversy when advertisers pulled away their sponsorships from the reality competition due to the behavior of contestant Adrián Marcelo, who psychologically terrorized his opponents from Team Mar (Sea). Marcelo eventually left the show amid the controversy.
Team Mar was the audience’s darling, and all five of them were made the finalists of Season 2. Brigitte Bozzo got fifth place, leaving the house mere days before the finale.

Cómplices is another production presented by Pantelion Films, the company owned by Lionsgate and Mexico’s Televisa. Unlike Pantelion’s bilingual How to Be a Latin Lover, Luis Eduardo Reyes’ Cómplices is not really targeting the latino audience in the United States, as it was mostly filmed in Dominican Republic with local actors, even if the main cast is entirely Mexican. As an opportunity to promote tourism to said Caribbean country, the movie quickly establishes a beach vacation as its scenario, when the main character, a Mexican casanova in his forties (Arath de la Torre), decides that it’s time for another of his typical hunts for the hottest women in the world. The conflict, though, comes from the fact that due to his sickness, the protagonist’s best...
