Esmeralda Comes by Night (1997) User Reviews

a surreal movie.

[Hunky Stud · 7/10 · 16 December 2001]

This is a good comedy. However, it is surreal. It can never happen in real life. And the technique used in the movie is also surreal. Good thing about it is that it doesn't distract your attention. You won't have a hard time following through the story. Then it is just a comedy that you only want to watch it once.

I found this one of the best movie I ever saw. The actress was absolutely marvelous. I enjoyed Pedro Armendariz Jr as well as I did his dad in the old movies. Great piece of acting and thoroughly enjoyable. I was capture from the beginning and delighted all through the movie. It may have helped that I am somewhat familiar with Mexican language and Mexico. I recommend this movie to those who care to be entertained. Rivals "Singing in the Rain" with Gene Kelly. The scene of singing in the rain was not expected and was a delightful surprise. Please find a was to view this work. Maria Rojo is especially fun in her portrayal of the open heart. Bravo for the director.

How About an American Remake?

I loved this movie. Maria Rojo as Esmeralda is delightfully sweet, and absolutely beautiful. The humor is top-notch; I especially liked how the inspector and others in the police station appeared in the scenes as Esmeralda was describing them.

Esmeralda is light, sweet, beautiful and funny, and she totally fills the movie with those qualities.

I highly recommend this movie.
