El Rey de la Fiesta

This is a movie with an interesting premise, but its poor development makes it very frustrating.

The script makes this movie tedious and frustrating, since the story, despite being simple, the characters have very little development, being these the main axis of the story, making the plot unjustifiable and preventing you from worrying about this characters. The characters come to seem pretentious, capricious, hateful, selfish and not very empathetic, despite the fact that there are some scenes where they try to develop and justify their actions, where there is no dialogue and everything is very interpretive but with little context. These scenes lead nowhere and tell us nothing about the characters or what they are going through. The technical aspects of the film are well done, the photography is precise, as is the lighting, the editing is good, the sets are well built and the direction is decent, although the performances at times seem exaggerated and out of place, due to the lousy job on the script.

The personalities of the main characters don't end up developing, this makes the whole plot pointless and very childish, the production aspects don't save the whole movie but they do make it less obnoxious, it's a shame the premise has not been exploited correctly.
