Reseñas (1)
At times, it tries to be a lot of art, until the otherwise well-captured tastelessness of the world of transsexuals becomes an element of style (I mean mainly the idiotic squirrel). From a narrative point of view, it is also sometimes clumsy. But the work with the actors is excellent, the capturing of some of the dialogues in detail is very good, and given how wild an archetypal story the film tells, it is kept at the level of acceptable realism. In the central themes (gender - body - identity) it is reminiscent of some of Almodovar's films, but otherwise a typical "young Greek theme" - a distorted paternal authority. Despite the fact that I don't care much for these trans-things, it's a solid, interesting and emotionally-made film.
