Naked As We Came (2012)
Lovely film
Truly, the only issue I had with this entire movie was some issues with the audio. Sometimes it would cut out in awkward places. That's about it for the negative.
I loved the story, and especially the setting. The entire movie is... soothing. It was paced perfectly, the acting was fantastic, and my lord the cinematography. It was beautiful. The music was fitting where it was placed, and the actors all played their characters perfectly. I never once felt like they were simply regurgitating lines from a script.
I enjoyed the ending. Melancholy, yet realistic. There was no way Elliott was going to be with Ted, especially since he never broke off his relationship with Eric. I didn't feel any bitterness, but I certainly did catch the feeling of understanding.
Great movie, good story, cute guys.
En la gama de los grises (2015)
Pretty good. Deserved a higher rating than the 2/5 it got on Netflix.
The movie was paced very well. Started out soft, calm, with warm lighting and very little music. It progressed very naturally, and I enjoyed the ride.
My biggest issue with this movie is the child actor. The kid was basically mumbling the entire time, and he delivered his lines flatly. Maybe that was the intention, but it was frustrating. However, Daniela Ramírez was excellent. Francisco and Emilio were great, and had a wonderful chemistry together.
Overall this movie was decent. Not perfect, but not horrible. I didn't like the ending because I'm a hopeless romantic and wanted the two to get together, but I can appreciate it for its realness. Sometimes life doesn't work out the way you want.
