I swear this is one of the best films I have seen in decades!! The way the director intertwined the stories was excellent. He broke some rules, but broke them RIGHT! Mexican indie film has finally come into its own. Not since "Strawberries and Chocolate" (Cuba, 1994) has a film left me with such a good impression. This film deserves all the recognition it receives. From the title to the content of the three story lines... it has proved that life is DEFINITELY a bitch! As a filmmaker myself, I can't stop praising this piece of art. The world has gotten a sniff of the strong coffee brewing in the FIRST America... Latin America. This is better than the typical, boring Hollywood bravado. This is REAL Latino film-making. ¡Orale!

Kenneth,

As a Cuban of African descent, this film IS believable. Just because the Anglos in this country acted ONE WAY, did not mean that Spaniards in another country couldn't possibly act ANOTHER WAY. Open your mind to other people's history. Just because Cuban history isn't comparable to U.S. History does it mean that it is not correct or believable. The world doesn't start and end with U.S. opinions. You exude that typical arrogance ascribed to "Americans"... like it was all about you. It is quite believable given our history as Africans in Latino America whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.
