Words and lines, pieces of lives and a marvelous collection of moments... this movie like very few I have seen, is actually able to touch you. It feels like a nice long history, like a moving book, which fills the screen and shows the born of an era, the mixture of what once was, what was then and what one day will be... in a way that is perfectly universal and painfully true; a little town in the south of Mexico, a little story, a few lies, a few truths. A great movie!

The visual side of the movie is one of the greatest I have ever seen. Some of the concepts though, aren't new, are quite great to look at and think of. The very end almost kept from being the actual Hollywood way and its fair enough to watch. What I did miss was the lack of unknown artist. For some reason, the main cast doesn't quite fit as I wish it did, though I like Williams and Sciorra in other movies. I wish I could see some new faces in this one.

Very few tales get me... even less love stories, I do enjoy a good comedy and romance, but this one goes beyond that. It creates a fantasy suburban world, some kind of parallel universe. It jumps right into the heart of the tale, shakes your thoughts and shows you a little lesson - an old and important one... in a funny, simple, lovely way.
