Well Deserved Praise
Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater
A Major Disappointment
A different way of telling a story
This is definitely a title that deserves a second go from any reviewer who was on a bad day. The film is definitely a honest, realistic and anti-pop script on unfulfilled love and unmet opportunities that fate will endeavour to correspond and correct, regardless of one's utter/innermost intentions. One of the most amazing things I tasted on this film is the fact that I simply dislike love films, with their pop-culture of dreamy realisations and commitments. This one is truthful to the very bone of what life is, there is no sanding of sharp edges, it will hurt the viewer and the characters as much as one's expectations that everything must be happiness. The movie covers very well how certain decisions in life or an inevitability can undermine years of experiences that simply won't take place. Thus, happiness or the possibility of more, purer or different happiness must be reassessed and played against what life juggled at us. Does life deserve to be re-imagined against all aspects that offer one stability and moral standards? This is the decision we all debate through the film itself.Some people might not like Eugenia "China" Suarez as a person but the way she conducts the character's progression and response to the other actor, Benjamin (also incredibly good), made me stop criticising astonishingly beautiful women who play love parts. She suffers like I'd see any person suffer, he believes to the very last moment like I see any other person willing to believe. The movie is very honest and very good.
View MoreThe leading actress is probably the most beautiful i have seen, and she is very good actress. The leading man is great as well. The story line is something that anyone who loves watching hot romantic movies would keep watching over and over. Blurry ending but i hope that they'll make a part 2!
View MoreThe chemistry between the central characters Abril, played by Eugenia Suárez, and Manuel, played by Benjamín Vicuña, is believable and the director's decision to make Abril the more confident and secure of the two, was the right move.Manuel meets the beautiful Abril and just as love is about to blossom, a turn of fate ruins their moment.Fast forward seven years. Abril is in a relationship with Bruno Raidy and they have a three year old son, Felix. Manuel is married to Laura and they have a five year old daughter, Rita.On another of Manuel's business trips he meets Abril once more and this time they do get together.

She is upset and tells Manuel "I'm not upset It just bothers me .that I'm upset about you having a life with her."She leaves Manuel's room with the line, "And I never want to see you again."Does she see him again?Watch the movie and find out.
View MoreI watched this at Netflix. Netflix says: This movie is : Emotional, steamy , romantic. Some might say on the other hand that this is a classical, "Lovers meet years after and they are married now however they cant help themselves to have an affair and OMG what is going to happen next" kind of boring movie. Well, they will be probably right with what they say but I'm not sure if they will still be right if they score it less than 4-5. I think the effort, some likable-cute acting,certain scenes ( ;) ) together with some beautiful scenery would worth... at least a 6, I would say. No sleep and nothing to do on a late weekend night? You wanna get emotional, steamy and romantic? :) Give it a try...
