It isn't bad, but Lake Tahoe didn't overcome my expectations. It is evident the use of the montage to express us the quietfulness, the lack of motion and the nothing-happens of a mexican southern beach town. But, beneath this apperance of calm, there lies the swirl of emotions the characters go through and they surface in a good subtle way. The film definetly has its emotional and funny touch. It's just I expected more after Temporada de patos, the director's previous film.

MMMMMHHH no es mala, pero Lake Tahoe no superó mis expectativas. La pelicual deliberadamente quiere transmitir la inmovilidad y la tranquilidad de un pueblo playero al sur del país. Lo consigue, de entrada haciendo puros planos con la cámara inmóvil y dejándonos a obscuras un par de segundos entre cada toma. A mi eso me desesperó. Sin embargo, dentro de esta calma aparente y el silencio tan común en varios de sus personajes, se develan de manera muy sutil los torbellinos emocionales por los que pasan. Desde luego que la película tiene su encanto tanto emocional como gracioso, pero me gustó mas Temporada de Patos aunque sea más superficial.
