3/10

Great Production Values. Bad Movie.

"A Hora Mágica" is based in one of the works of the great Argentinian writer Julio Cortázar, but it does little to add anything to its literary source.

The acting is stilted, unnatural, always distant and sloppy. The Director is often pretentious, displaying an incomprehensible screenplay that alienates the audience every change it gets.

The annoying repetition of the dubbing of the actors was maddening at times, and it's hard to believe they actually thought anyone would like that.

The neo-noir style, while effective, does little to save the shipwreck of a screenplay this film has. Watch it for the cinematography and production values alone.

5/10
