The movie is pretty decent. It has a good story line with a wholesome ending, emphasizing the roles of strong female characters. My favorite character was Magdalena because she was the only sensible character, and she beat up Santiago, who had to be the most evil person in the movie. He was a crusty predator and only loved Diamantina for her looks, which is obvious when he immediately falls in love with her daughter. I would recommend this movie; it is perfect for playing in the background when you are doing something else, trying to fall asleep, or if you are looking for a women-centric film because it is an exciting, uneventful, heartbreaking, and uplifting story about the strong matriarchal societies in rural Mexico.
