Review of Blood of My Blood (2007) by Fernando Rafael Q — 08 Jan 2009
I hate when Americans do this type of movies and try to label them "Mexican", especially when it's such crap.
An immigrant movie in which is really easy to not sympathize with the terrible characters. Basically, every character in this film is either an asshole or impossibly stupid. And then you got "Magda", one of the most unlikable people ever to be put on screen. She's supposed to be, but it was definitely too much. Besides, who talks like that?
SANGRE DE MI SANGRE, or PADRE NUESTRO, had a good concept but it was lost to poor writing and the awful cast. The fact that actors like Jesús Ochoa, Ernesto Derbez and Armando Hernández still get parts puzzles me.
I don't see this film appealing to any Latin filmgoer, or at least Mexicans. The only good thing about this film is its interesting, minimalist score.
