Review of Chico & Rita (2010) by Dipanshu M — 11 Mar 2012

This film is simply quite intense and mesmerizing. For a music lover that I am, I could not resist the way my heart and soul were going places all tangled up in a beautiful yet sad story of music and love. The story telling is compelling and engages the viewer in a magical way, through music, allowing one to experience the sometime heart wrenching emotions in the tale.

The screenplay was thorough and genuinely rooted in reality of situations which give a very real and humble look at the mores of a lovely country adding to the sense of teleportation when watching the film not just in place but time.
