Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado

The entertainment industry has lost their way. The minute you start glorifying someone's mental illness like this movie does with this werid man, your industry will collapse. Talking to the people who are decent and normal here, don't watch this. I couldn't even finish it. Brazil is a very spiritually sick Nation if this is what counts as entertainment. I'll be blunt, this guy is nothing to celebrate. He belonged in therapy.

This movie is unfit for viewing because it promotes and glorifies unhealthy human behavior.

Portraying a queer legend of astronomy who i hadn't approached to, the directors put a marker on what this world needs, a message of peace, hope and much, much love.

the Oscar goes too...

Obsessed. Always valued Walter as a cultural phenom in my native PR but this documentary provides a rich and balanced tapestry of his life, gifts and work, as well as the challenges he overcame. I love his nieces and Willie, they're my faves and I really hope they keep going! They're amazing!

A very beautiful film that covers the extraordinary life of Walter Mercado. This biographical retelling not only tells Walter's life but captures his magic & essence quite well. This film does what it intended to do and then some. You'll feel so much richer after learning about his life. 5/5. A true homage to one of Latin America's greatest television personalities.

I loved this. Not terribly familiar with George, but seeing this makes me wish I had been aware of his loving magic sooner. This documentary loving portrays the humongous heart of an amazing individual. Mucho, mucho!!

Honestly, I had low expectations and just wanted to watch anything before going to bed. Didn't expect to be that uplifting. So after watching it, i had no regrets. No bad comments, no negative reviews, if there's any kind of poor execution in the development of this documentary, it was easy to not to notice it. I was easily caught in the story and also hooked by his personality and by what he means in latin America's culture, that even now I can see his legacy and started admiring him for the very first time. I wish I could have seen this before he died.. As a latina I take this documentary as an statement, and applaud Netflix for giving us the opportunity of having such kind of entertainment and for celebrating Walter's life with this film . It's a very rich and meaningful documentary mostly for minorities and that embraces diversity, in many cultures and across countries. I didn't expect this, and either to end up having a beatiful and positive message at the end of my day, now I will start my day with a different perspective.

Walter Mercado is an inspiration. He gives people hope. This documentary on his life is a must-see, however I couldn't help but feel Mercado and people around him weren't always 100% honest. This is an infomercial of Mercado's career and it's pretty good! He is flamboyant and positive and you can't help but to be motivated from his words. There is a celebrity who breaks down after meeting this man who is relatively unknown to English speaking Americans, but who is revered by the Latino American population. His story rings a bell, but if you weren't into the astrological universe you probably won't know him. I wish they talked about his sexuality or lack thereof in some way. He's a fascinating figure, but I guarantee everyone who watches will have unanswered questions. His message is love and this doc is one that's hard NOT to like. Final Score: 6.8/10

An inspirational and uplifting documentary about the life of Walter Mercado, the Puerto Rican iconic, gender non-conforming astrologer, who mesmerized millions of viewers in Latin America and around the world with his extravagance and positivity. With an appeal to nostalgia, it presents some of the most important moments in his life, including the legal problems he faced and for which he disappeared from the spotlight for years. I didn't know he had died so recently, RIP Walter Mercado.
