This movie left me speechless and deeply moved. Everything in this movie seems just perfect- from the scenery, the colours in each shot, the actors... and it seems like Spanish never sounded that beautiful. I think this movie is a piece of art and I would just hang it somewhere in a museum :) That's how beautiful it is. I watched a lot of gay movies and this one is besides "Brokeback Mountain" and "Shelter" one of my favourites. But gay or not gay, I wish there would be more beautiful movies like this one. Simple story, few characters and beautiful scenes.
I love to watch this film over and over, in fact this is my 4th times watching it. Drama and sentimental and I admit it, I cried.In real life. Some homosexual love affair there is always hindrance especially if one is gotta married but they are still in love each other. He who got married has to accept his real feelings, however, denies the truth in front of his wife and friends...but at the end...no secret remain secret and he has to face the reality once and for all.What more I could say? I salute to those actors and actress. They performed their roles quite splendidly. I recommended it already to all my friends for them to watch and they are asking for Part 2, if any. Congratulation for the great film. I hope there is Part 2 on this!
Beautifully wrought story of a man coming to grips with his true self. Exquisite performances with Cristian Mercado absolutely riveting in the lead. This isn't a film that provides easy answers or comforting assurances, life in this village is a tough ingrained macho stronghold even though a small glimmer of progression is allowed to shine though near the end. Mercado shows the intense struggle the main character must navigate to not only make peace with a crushing tragedy but learn how to align his moral code with something that could cost him everything he hasn't already lost. Mercado isn't alone in offering a great performance everyone is very fine. Deeply affecting and well worth seeking out.
Undertow is far from excellent - it is simply an amazing, well made movie that one must watch. Set in the beautiful seaside Peruvian town, the movie tells a passionate love story between two men. The depth depicted in this movie is powerful and extremely touching. The characters portray reality that is rarely seen in movies. All three lead actors deliver magical performances. The direction and picturization is well presented and enjoyable. From this movie, one takes away the passion that was obviously present in making this wonderful movie. Kudas to the actors, director, producer and all the crew. A must see!
