A descent and artful film that has a great positive message. Jose Alejandro Gomez Monteverde tells the story of a cook, who helps a recently fired waitress, come to terms with a difficult situation by sharing his painful past. Grade: B
Spoiler Alert
While a solid film, I must admit it's obvious promotion of a "pro-choice" theme feels a little heavy handed. I hate to say this is a fault because it's a good idea to promote but when an entire film hinges on the question, will she or won't she, that's not really enough drama for a movie for me. It's also hard not to see the ending a mile away.
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
