I've never seen something with the pace of this film. It builds slowly and quietly, punctuated close to the beginning with one shocking & horrible moment that the main character Marcos keeps to himself. The whole time, you get very little verbally from Marcos, but you see his face as he processes the things that happen to him and as he receives no sympathy from those around him, and the effect is that you feel for his journey deeply. This film is quiet, mirroring the silent disdain and disinterest that Marcos receives, until an ending that left me wide eyed, jaw-dropped, and with chills all up my body. I never expected the ending but when I saw it happen I quickly remembered all the elements of the story that point to an ending like this making perfect sense.

This is a film-lovers film. The lead actor, Walter Rodriguez, delivers a truly extraordinary performance as a young man destined to parent himself. Although it is a desolate tale of an emotionally abandoned child discovering his homosexuality amidst a sea of hate, it packs one hell of a punch. It builds gently but still desperately to an unexpected yet understandable conclusion. A film that will stay with you. Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic movie. It bubbles along nicely and you feel like a fly on the wall watching Marcos life take place. It feels like an authentic and real cultural slice of life into social and rural Argentina. The trailer says it is "inspired by true events" which makes it all the more fascinating curious and interesting... something I definitely want to find out more about.

I was expecting more out of the film. I gave it a 3 because the Main character's Acting was great but the whole show was completely boring. I nearly fell asleep a few times, and the only reason I didn't turn it off was I hoped it would "get better soon"... it never did. There was virtually no attachment to the characters and honestly I wouldn't watch it again. If you are looking for a serious coming of age movie about sexuality watch Mysterious Skin, it is 1000% better than this movie.

This movie is daring and takes all kinds of risk that actually happen in real life and crams it into about an hour and 15 minutes. Some of the obstacles that we as humans face on a day-to-day basis, set us on this wild, impactful, roller coaster ride, that is never ending. The cast and crew do a wonderful job, putting on a wonderful display of real life occurrences in the struggles that beat the people go through on a daily basis. This film was a pleasure to watch and I definitely recommend it to our. You definitely keep an open mind and when it comes to independent filmmaking, you have to keep in mind that the directors or Director has a vision and you have to try to get in their shoes to have the full understanding of their direction! Two thumbs up!
