Review of Maldeamores (2007) by Eriqua P — 20 Dec 2008

Part of the Bay Area International Film Festival I noticed this was the one Puerto Rican film...and I missed its showings...

Sad face...pero I found that it was on Netflix and I quickly pushed it up to the top of my cue.

I want more exposure to Boricua film-making. Benicio del Toro is the executive producer.

Maldeamores shows the less glamorous side of love through three storylines and three generations.

We laugh at faults that are more hilarious when they are not our own.

I loved Puerto Rico in the backdrop...from the music to the coqui, to just how people handle the stress of seemingly unsolvable crises. I saw snippets that reminded me of my abuelita, tios, and primos throughout the film.
