TeenzTen An action-packed slog
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
septimoarte-1 Libia Stella Gomez, in her prime opera, surprises us with an aestheticly rich movie: "La Historia del Baúl Rosado" ("The Pink Trunk story"). This movie tells the mysterious case of a dead girl found in a trunk in 1945, which was sent as a post delivery to a town far from Bogota (that is the place where this movie takes place). The art direction, the soundtrack, the costume designs, the performances, the direction, the cinematography, the screenplay... everything is perfect in this movie, although this movie is not perfect. The only thing that this movie doesn't have is a climax moment. But it's quiet a good Colombian-Mexican-Spanish movie, and it is a different film compared to the Colombian others, because it's not about violence, drugs, nor prostitution, and because is one of the few Colombian movies that are directed by a woman. It's very well-done and I'm sure it's one of the best pictures that I've ever seen.
