A typical American drama featuring a parade of American actors and emotions that couldn’t be more artificial. Unfortunately.

Un cuento de hadas artificialmente elaborado, en el que cada personaje experimenta una crisis personal o una tragedia mayor o menor, pero al final, no es nada que el trío de actores de teatro no pueda manejar. Los creadores de Belleza oculta no solo se basaron en el implacable estrujamiento de las emociones del espectador, sino que lo tratan como a un tonto en varios giros argumentales hacia el final. Quizás sufrí más que cualquiera de los protagonistas mientras lo veía.

Collateral Beauty lured most viewers in with an amazing cast and confusing trailers that enticed them to see a slightly different film than the one we were served. At least that's how it was for me. I can't say that it was an outright bad film, but I guess I was probably expecting a slightly stronger story that would have moved me more and not forced me to sympathize with the main character Howard too blatantly. Which is a shame in the end, considering the presence of themes like the death of offspring or the musings on the three instances of Love, Death and Time. In short, it's a film that stands mainly on its cast, but which is undermined by a somewhat muddled script.

Sure, it's a tearjerker, and sure, it's meant to squeeze some emotions and a bunch of tears out of you, but in my case, it just didn't work. On the one hand, it is due to the excellent cast, where I enjoyed every actor, on the other hand, there was a surprise in the plot, which I somehow just did not expect, which made it all the more interesting.
