14th, 2024 (First Watch)Format: Regular theatreRating: 8/10Im surprised how this film is able to be so many things at the same time. It balances each genre and gives it enough time in a way that won't make it seem too much.Each acting performance in this film is outstanding specifically Zoe Saldana in the first half of the film and Karla Sofía Gascón in the second half of the film who played two roles in this film perfectly. Unfortunately, everything related to Selena Gomez in terms of her acting performance and character needed more effort to be put in.

Very weak character that was just there as a filler to make things more complicated for the main protagonist and the events of the story.Though musicals aren't my thing, this film dealt with that part in such a unique way that made each song performance creative in terms of the directing and lyrics. Two songs that really grabbed my attention is one that touched on a political aspect in Mexico that had such a creative and unique direction to it. The other one really proved Zoe Saldana's performance as it was great with all of the dark and minimum lighting that it had..
