Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

In my humble opinion Camino is a great movie, even if it has sections that are not too good, but it is too bathed in ideology that makes it as it progresses, to tire the viewer.I explain what I said. It's a good movie, that can not be discussed, you believe it, the actors are, most of them very well, tell a story that comes to you and excites you. The problem is beyond. Technically, for my taste, the photo is quite bad, the realization I do not like, because it does not come out of the foreground except to go to general without reason, the assembly is not good either, because it places at the beginning the end, with what when You see again at the end, for me loses strength.Now I go to the exaggeration part that spoils everything. Is anyone able to tell me if any characters in the film, who are religious, are morally acceptable? Respecting the girl of course, do not go to be put a complaint to put the girl as a bad person, in addition you have to make your character wonderfully charming so that you feel sorry when you die. What he does not resist is to make him, despite his young age, very exciting, he puts it with a beautiful hair and bad hair very bet and when dancing is elegant to satiety. I am an atheist by the grace of God, as Camilo José Cela would say, for many years, however in this film, I get tired of seeing that the believing characters are bad guys and the not so believers are good. The example is in the father and the mother. The mother, everything makes it morally unacceptable and the father who is not so believer is a good person.In this film, he steals himself with a knife when talking about the Christian religion, the believers, the rich, the privatization of health. There are several examples and I put a few. At first the priest tells the mothers to choose the friends of the children, the end in a box where the sister is locked there is a box with prohibited books, when the young priest talks to the girl's father, with the window open And an exaggerated sun that burns the image, has the light on, the priest tells him to take him to private healing, which is better and treat you better, said in the mouth of this character is how to stab it. When the older sister goes to see the aunt to get the money, she shows a wealthy person, like no bad guys and they quickly have to go and the aunt tells them they already have what they want.I could continue to put examples of how being so radical makes the movie tired, I get tired of always seeing a lousy look of some and very good of others.Spoiler: I think he could have made a good movie if he had not let himself be carried away by his ideology as exaggeratedly as he has. It's a movie that comes to you and excites you and even tires you to an atheist

Reading the above reviews, I find it somewhat surprising that almost no-one saw what I saw in this excellent movie.What I saw was an expose' of the heartlessness of the Catholic Church (and I hasten to add that they are not alone).I saw ambition among the clergy and the girl's mother, overriding their humaneness for this unfortunate girl.I saw the philosophy of self denial taken to absurd extreme. Who is more deserving of flowers in her hospital room than a dying innocent eleven year old? Is mind control, sequestration, withholding of personal information, constant supervision and the encouragement to wear stones in ones shoes a way to prepare anyone for office anywhere in this day and age, let alone for the catholic church? I saw the Catholic Church manipulating the tragic events in order to "glorify" the church, and the individual clergy involved supporting this in order to enhance their own standing within the hierarchy.Instead the movie tells us that Camino's dying thoughts were with Jesus, but not with the Jesus of Nazereth, which was the assertion of the clergy and no doubt the overriding factor in her subsequent beautification, ("the church needs more saints" says one clergyman), but with her prepubescent love of a boy of the same name.I also saw the medical establishment questioned. A GP "No Xray but an injection will settle it", A specialist when an Xray is finally taken-"no problem here, she will be OK soon" - The surgeon on the second Xray "This is serious must repair the vertebrae without delay", finally a scan "The tumor must be removed ASAP" - where a careful diagnosis would have possibly isolated the problem from the beginning and made the last months of Camino's life at least a little more pain free.In all I found this a very bitter movie, it did not glorify the church but rather leveled serious criticism at it as it did the medical establishment.Not a movie for the masses, not a movie that could come out of America but in my opinion one of the VERY BEST movies ever.Warning, If light entertainment is your wish avoid this movie like the plague, but if you want your thought processes stimulated, do not miss it.

I have the pleasure of knowing the Director of this film and was able to see it multiple times during the final edit phase while visiting Spain. The emotional impact of this film is unique to any form of art. The story is about a young girl and her life..and the human drama that tragedy brings to life.The history of this girl is steeped in Opes Dei and her families connection to the church. The film is not and is not meant to be a commentary on this. This film is anything but anti spiritual or anti anything.I hope this film makes it into the international market in spite of its unique and powerful vision. The director Javier Fesser has truly made a stunning film. To me the impact of the film goes beyond entertainment. This is not a light film though it is a positive experience to view it.

I'm really sorry for the real family of the girl. They must have been suffering a lot with a movie about his/her daughter and sister which completely distort the reality. If i have had a sister who died, i would like my privacy or at least a movie that respect the truth and my beliefs. I have faith and i can tell the director didn't show catholic faith as it is. Faith helps you to be happy, to understand other beliefs and ways of thinking and behaving. In fact, i and lots of catholic people enjoy our friendship with no believers and learn about each other. It's a pity that the movie distort reality and manipulate it in order to serve to his aim: to "fanatize" which is not. It looks like he's the real fanatic. A pity too.
