Tell Me When

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

I've watched a bunch of these Netflix originals (for Spanish practice) and this one of the better ones. The cinematography is actually pretty outstanding. The main actors in the film all give good performances. And the ending was enough of a twist on the typical cliche that it felt like a more modern, sensitive take on a more "real" love story.

It's not going to win any awards but it's worth a watch.

Production, camera work and editing are pretty good. Soundtrack is top notch.

Plot wise is mediocre at best. There's no chemistry nor reason why the protagonists should be together, other than, 'our families know each other from years back and my grandpa last wish is for me to get a partner'.

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

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.
