This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I have to admit I am drawn to bicultural co-productions--and Buen Dia Ramon is a Mexican- German film. The layers of complexity in navigating and directing actors with different cultural and linguistic points of view enriches the movie-viewing experience. "Buen Dia, Ramon" exemplifies this. The alternating points-of-view are not only character-based but culturally based. The actors who play Ramon (Kristyan Ferrer) and the German Ruth (Schöner) are understated, with such charm and poignancy that the incredible friendship becomes credible. Ramon's story is an unexpectedly lyrical tale of perseverance, tenacity, and generosity. "Buen Dia, Ramon" considers how friendship develops despite all sorts of challenges in a deeply affecting manner. This movie is a simple pleasure that no one should miss.

"Guten Tag, Ramón" is a 2-hour feature film from 2 years ago and it was written and directed by Jorge Ramírez Suárez and stars Kristyan Ferrer. I have to say I am not familiar with either. However, I do know Adriana Barraza from "Babel" of course. In this film here, we get to witness a young man's journey to Germany. You could almost call it a road movie. I personally felt that this was not really about Rámon, but about the people he meets and what their lives look like. The title kinda confirms this as this is said by somebody who meets him. There's dramatic moments in here, funny moments and some decent emotion from start to finish. I must say I never saw any real greatness that inspired me to watch this one soon again, but there are also no weaknesses in here. It's a very competent film. Solid acting, good script, convincing direction. All in all, I recommend the watch and I cannot say I am really surprised with all the awards attention this film got. Thumbs up. Oh yeah, one final note, there are several languages in here. So, unless you are fluent in both German and Spanish, make sure you get subtitles.

I liked it very much. As Mexican I laughed and cry very much. It is a story based on real life, what Mexican people think and feel as immigrants in Germany and the contrast with the immigration in the USA where the treatment is violent, racist and non effective, yet in the movie you can appreciate the difference. How he is treated, respected and helped by others without forgetting that the immigration authorities make their job efficiently. I liked very much how the movie shows that when there is love the language does not matter, what matters is feelings and how to transmit love... The actors are natural and Ramon has all the characteristics of a tender and adventurer young man.Without doubt I do strongly recommend this movie.

I have seen the movie in an international film festival in Mexico, AMAZING!!!Great rhythm, photography, acting, script very international about migration and opening doors with international language of respect and love.A Mexican from Durango drop out after 5 times being deported on the way to USA, then a friend convince him to go to Germany looking for an aunt that will help him in Germany. A script where digital maps does not exist and immigrant has instructions included in a notebook paper. A beautiful story about why and how people migrate, but also how everybody can find help even without speaking same languages.
