I just saw this film at the San Diego Festival and felt tempted to write a comment.
I usually go to see romantic movies and yet I can not compare it to any other movie I have seen.
It is a fantasy story told in part by the beautiful images and by the award-deserving musical score.
I liked Nicholas Gonzalez character (I do not say more to avoid spoiling the movie), I can only say his character is the most challenged by the events.
His mother, Sonia Braga, takes the lead and delivers a very strong and enjoyable performance.
Regarding the art direction, the use of colors to set the moods and transmit emotions from colorful to rich darkness are amazing.
I can't wait for the DVD and CD to appear on the market just to see my favorite parts over and over again.
