Perfectly adorable
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
View MoreBeautifully shot, fabulous soundtrack, lovely editing. The director Kevin Dobson's work always has a wonderful sense of movement and feeling, He has a great cinematic sense of pace. Well cast. Some of the reviews I've read are outrageous!!! Sounds more like a bitter and twisted crew member, with a small brain. Grips aren't necessarily known for their brain power, more for brawn and pretty blouses. Took me to Mexico and back, somewhere I've always wanted to go, and showed the culture beautifully. It's a small budget independent film, and well worth a look. Some really fabulous moments. I've seen a thousand worse huge budget movies. The Jlo and Gregory Nava movie about exactly the same subject had a massive budget and was boring and slow.
View MoreThis movie is a typical glorified Hollywood production that the Americans have yet again screwed up. I don't understand how much pride we always seem to have to take by coming in and saving the day, as is the case with the LA Reporter. It is a true disgrace that this movie has been made into America's very own money driven society, and are always looking to make a little extra not matter the expense to others, such as the unfortunate murders of innocent young women of the Juarez region of Mexico. So to hell with the director of this production. I hope that one day something happens to someone you love, so that someone can come in and make millions off of your loss. Asshole!!
View MoreI also saw The Virgin of Juarez at The Latino Film Fest. What is it with these negative comments? I really enjoyed the movie for what it was. Maybe it didn't fit into the box some people wanted it to but it is an art film. I highly recommend this film to anyone. Minnie Driver is excellent and all the cast did a wonderful job. It should play in every movie theater in the country. I will be buying the DVD and recommending it to all my friends. The script may have benefited from a little more work but that is being very critical. If you haven't seen it you should. I really liked the pacing of the film and the way it switched around from Juarez to Los Angeles. i had no idea about the murders down there and this film opened my eyes to a very significant problem.
View MoreGreat movie. Superb direction by Director/Producer Kevin James Dobson. Good for him for selecting this subject in order to raise awareness of these horrid events that have still been taking place on the border of El Paso Texas, in Juarez, Mexico. Currently at Film Fesitval nationwide. Great photo-doubling ;).Journalist, Katrina (played by Minnie Driver), attempts to uncover the mystery behind the Juarez murders and subsequent burial in a vast field on the outskirts of town, of young girls (based on current true story). Looking forward to seeing the next Kevin Dobson project!
