It's very odd. When I read through the reviews for this film, I noticed 4 in a row that were posted within days of each other that were so thoroughly negative and nasty that I wonder if a person has opened multiple accounts to trash the film. I've seen this a few times in the past. All I can say for sure is that this is a good film and while I could understand someone not loving it, I can't understand the vitriol.
The film is an absurdist comedy. If you are trying to find deep meaning, don't bother--I am pretty sure it's just meant to be stupid and weird--and on that level I can accept it.
The film begins with a Mexican-American woman getting stuck in Mexico without a passport. She's practically broke and to make things worse, a guy with a trombone begins following her about--annoying and hitting her with the slide on the trombone. At first, she becomes violent and after a while, she tries to ignore it. This continues for three years! It's quirky, it's strange but it's also strangely funny and compelling. Well done, but certainly not everyone's cup of tea.
