"El Crimen del Padre Amaro" (2002)
I wish i could hate this movie more but is very entretaining and Ana Talancón is the most beautiful mexican actress since Salma.
The screenplay is all over the place, and there is not a single stand out performance, it tries too hard to be polemical, but it doesn't have one single likeable character, and many feel like cartoons, too many unintentional laughs, this subject is such ripe for parody, i wish John Waters or Buñuel directed this.
Grade: C-
"Frida" (2002)
Now i wish i loved this one more, its so perfectly filmed, perfectly acted, wonderful surreal touches, perfectly paced, but some scenes are just too silly, and it should have been filmed in spanish, so it didn't have those awkward spanglish moments. After a while it becomes a spot the cameo kind of affair, but Salma gets naked, and that is a very good thing, do not miss it.
Grade: B+
