Gael García seemed to find a good topic, even a decent story. But instead of giving space and allowing the characters to be (I'm no longer here and even Roma are good examples of this), Garcia Bernal simply aligns them to the soap opera stereotypes that Mexicans are so used to (if not sick of) by now. For a moment, I thought I was watching La Rosa de Guadalupe (Televisa does produce the movie and it shows). Luckily other Mexicans creators are doing what Gael did not dare to do.
