Review of Máncora (2009) by Billie W — 06 Dec 2010
Woah, woah. Elsa Pataky. Never heard of her before this (or maybe I had), but all of a sudden the movie world...and probably the entire universe...revolves around her. A pretty decent actress, but simply incredible to look at.
As for the movie, a nice Peruvian road flick. Maybe a bit pretentious, maybe a bit leaning on the beautiful people in the movie too much, but I liked the pacing and the story and the pretty sites (and the film says Hemingway used to live in the small town where they attend a party). The end was going for dramatic and then turned kind of Hollywood, so that's the only real mistake. As nice a watch as it is, it's also fairly superficial so an 8/10 is about as high as it could get with me.
