I am glad this film and its performers got the attention at Cannes that they richly deservedKudos!
I am not a great lover of musicals.However, I truly appreciate the blend of excellent singing, acting and an original storyline with a moral backdrop, which this film provides.Whatever you may say about Mexican culture, and the way it is sometimes portrayed, any film that brings to light "los dispariciados" and the pointless massacres of innocent people in Mexico due to the cartels gets my attention.The fact that that this film also melds in the life and attempted transition of a transgender character also gets my applause, including the performance of Gascon, who had to learn a Mexican accent ( as she is from Spain) , not to mention portraying a man and a woman at the extremes of that band length, from drug lord to caring woman, father to mother.The fact that the wife does not discern the difference is beyond the pale, but such is life.The ending is sad, but the point is made.
