disappointing
"The acting and dialogue feel straight out of a telenovela - overdone and artificial. Those two hours and seven minutes drag on endlessly as the film desperately tries to be artistic and profound but completely fails. The storytelling feels awkward and forced. It's a shame, because the concept had real potential. Overall, a major disappointment and a complete waste of time...."
