Just saw Netflix& #39;s new Mexican feature Ya no estoy aquí/I& #39;m No Longer Here and not sure about the praise from respected critics like @f_solorzano @diazdelavega1 Here& #39;s the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngl5wCDw840">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
2 I love the hair and costume design of the film& #39;s subculture (Ulises el Regio, Cindy& #39;s very distant cousin?)
3 I love the otherworldly Monterrey locations (the New York ones are more blah). Why don& #39;t see (and hear) more from this huge city, so distant from CDMX in all ways?
4 I hate the impassivity of non-professional actors, petrified by the camera. The main character keeps up this expression for two hours. (Wait til after the credits and you& #39;ll see more life and humor in two minutes of auditions than in the film itself.)
5 I hate the tedium of sitting through long conversations with people who don& #39;t know each other& #39;s languages, even looking up individual words in dictionaries. 3 million Spanish speakers in NY and Uises barely meets them. And that smart ChineseUS girl deserved a smarter boyfriend.
6 I appreciate Monterrey and New York are for once not shown as hell on earth. & gangs can be about music not drugs. But this film regresses to old school social realism like La jaula de oro: & #39;It& #39;s an important issue so it& #39;s an important film.& #39; And the dialogue is SO REPETITIVE.
7 This youtube is of a NY photographer documenting the same subculture. Some of the locations are the same as in the film. Start ten minutes in for Monterrey. It& #39;s from 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ0FN0pTDek">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
