    The most realistic depiction of Puerto Rico and its inhabitants. Everything about it is real down to the way we speak and how we treat each other. Absolutely beautiful film and by far the best Puerto Rican film ever done. Powerful performances, great story, and amazing cinematogr...( read more)aphy.

    Funny-ass tapestry of the joys and pains of love relationships...a lo boricua! Film is composed of several short stories, none of them related except for a common theme: el amor.

    Great, great movie to be honest. I really like how it portrays love from all different perspectives and it helps make the movie really unique. It's really well written and well acted, well for the most part cause some of the actors felt like they were reading from a cue card as...( read more) it just didn't feel natural at all. But those moments are few and they never really take away from the movie. Me, being from Puerto Rico, found several parts of this movie to be hilarious since they do portray pretty accurately how puertorican people are/how people here would react to some events of life (to a certain degree). One of the problems I have is that the dialogue doesn't contain as much puertorican slang as they should have, I'm guessing that was done to appeal to a wider audience to keep it from just being a film that only Puerto Rico will see and it DID work since it's been seen by more countries around the world than any other film to come from Puerto Rico (at least that I'm aware of). And it's also good to see a great puertorican movie cause to be honest over here, movies are usually very cheaply made (and filmed lazily too) and are only shot for a local audience. So it's great to see a movie that tries to take its story to a wider audience and succeeding at reaching that goal. So overall this is an easy recommendation since it is a great movie with some unique views on love and life.
