Movie Reviews

Cinema Scope - 6/10 by José Teodoro... has enough craft and intelligence to render its sentimental story about coming out of one's shell more charming and inventive than one would expect.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Heather BaysaClaudia Sainte-Luce's semi-autobiographical indie has a knack for subverting stereotypes without making a big deal about it.
User Review - 10/10 by Armeene BSoooo moving and heartfelt. Creative and unique! Go see it!
User Review - 10/10 by Steven LA veces yo me culpo porque el concepto de que el cine mexicano es mediocre no es bueno, luego me culpo el doble porque llegan maravillas y no las veo solo por ser mexicanas. Bueno pues los insolitos peces gato es una pelicula que me voy a culpar por no verla como se debe. Un planteamiento sencillo que se vuelve espectacular con el paso del tiempo, un guion solido con una historia muy interesante que se deja apoyar por las excelentes actuaciones y la correcta direccion. De esas pequeñas grandes peliculas que hacen la diferencia.
User Review - 8/10 by Reini UA fresh, funny and deeply moving drama. LIPG leaves the melodrama aside and tells a great family story.
User Review - 8/10 by Adrian SFriendship (and kinship) can be forged amongst the most different of people and arise in the most unexpected circumstances. Never didactic and heavy-handed in driving this point, Catfish tells the sweet tale of Claudia, a depressed and lonely supermarket worker, whose life takes a positive turn after meeting Martha, a dying HIV-positive mother with a cute bunch of rumbunctious children in tow. Through their companionship and eventual acceptance into their family, Claudia is empowered and finds joy and meaning in her life even if it means having to put on many hats to the children, that of a mother, role figure and confidante. Catfish's ultimate strength is in embracing differences amidst the family and in giving the definition of "family" a wide berth. It works best when revealing the characters' idiosyncrasies through its non-judgmental observational approach, offering glimpses of their daily lives, little triumphs and failures.
User Review - 8/10 by Tom FA interesting Mexican film about human relationships. Care for your fellow human, family issues and how love can develop between two woman, not as lovers, but as a daughter to a woman who she admires and helps personally and with her family. A very touching film.
User Review - 6/10 by Javier OA deeply emotional packed drama that brings fine performances and determined direction, but falls flat, and end up being boring because of many subplots and a narrative/structure problem.
User Review - 6/10 by Javier EUna extensa mirada a ese vacío que supone la soledad.
User Review - 6/10 by Rafael JA deeply emotional packed drama that brings fine performances and determined direction, but falls flat, and end up being boring because of many subplots and a narrative/structure problem.
