Love Without Fear

Love Without Fear shines thanks to Alejandro Belmonte's captivating performance. He portrays the Leo's character journey with both charm and vulnerability. Other supporting cast especially Carmen Baqué does a good job as well. It's in no way a perfect film but it has its moments. The film's exploration of societal prejudice is timely and touching. However, the ending feels rushed and even strange, leaving some loose ends and a sense of incompleteness and detracting from an over all impact. Regardless, its wonderfully made film with a lot of heart and love. A must watch for Indie Cinema lovers.

Love without fear is a lovely film. The cast and story captivated me. The director's open mind about love and sex really surprised me. It is true that before exploring the possibility of love, all love is possible, and love itself should not be labeled as opposite-sex or same-sex. But after making a mistake, it is not a good idea to passively wait for the problem to be solved. Since it is true love, why not make it clear face to face? True love should be fearless, but fearless love does not mean abandoning the responsibility of love. Only by loving bravely and competently can you gain joy and happiness.

It was a privilege to join two of the actors and the director in viewing this film the Seattle Latino Film Festival. Even if they weren't there/FaceTiming in, you could still tell how much they believed in and cared about their craft.

I have often found myself yearning for more sincerity when it comes to queer representation in film. In the case of Love Without Fear, I felt sincerity that was enhanced by some of the melodrama, their comedic moments, and relatable monologues and dialogue throughout.

I was magnificently surprised by the finale and a successful execution of using a short deneumont to the films advantage. I started rooting for every single one of the four core characters before they hit that climax and I see that as an indicator of well structured character arcs.

I love/hate this movie because it has very good moments in different aspects but it has the same amount of bad scenes.

I am a bit confused by the message that this film wanted to leave, since it is not a gay romance but it is not a personal drama either. I think this film wants to leave the message of exploring and searching for people who make you happy through faith, destiny and the nature of things, but in the end the message is lost.

However, it also has its good points such as the music used at very appropriate moments, they exploited the town and the culture of Taxco with very beautiful scenes that give the film a lot of personality, is moderately entertaining, plus I think it has some quite relatable scenes.

I STRONGLY believe that this movie would have done much better if they had made it in a comedy format (In the style of "The Proposal".), exactly the same movie but comedy would have fixed the errors at the script level such as certain strange plot twists, the exaggerated performances and the unreal things that happen just to advance the plot, in addition to clearly making the movie more fun and entertaining.

Despite everything, I did like this movie, the scenes between Leo and Josh were pretty cute to me, I think the ending is a bit bizarre but it's okay.

Sorry, I had to take it out because my chest isn't a hold.

I really enjoyed and learn a lot from the film. It was really interesting to see how a man can be in love with his fiancee and fall for another person of the same sex. I was very compelled to the very end. The male actors were so hot and yummy, even the actresses were beautiful and sexy. I'm happy to learn that the film was done by Mexican people from Los Angeles, happy to support la raza. This film reminds of Brokeback Mountain but with a Mexican twist that I totally didn't expect. Is it not a gay film, but a love story that I thought was beautifully told. Taxco looks beautiful, can't wait to see it with my very own eyes.
