Promising Filmmakers

This movie is the first feature, produced by a duo of women in the middle of the still new panorama of film making in the north of Mexico. The movie haves some problems due to being the first attempt of young people, and cause being produced against a hard medium. I must say that the movie haves many interesting moments and each one can be admired for its own merits. The principal problem is that each of this moments very often haves nothing to do with the others, I mean the film is very inconsistent in means of its narrative. The second mayor problem is the script, cause the story even being very interesting, and complex sometimes, is told in a very confusing way (I have the theory that the editing haves to do with this) making some important points unclear for almost all the play.

The search of making art and also telling a good story is evident. Being this point the principal benefit of the movie and the filmmakers, promising a much better result in the next production.
