AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Lucy_SoCalLatina I saw this film last night at the L.A. Latino International Film Festival. It was wonderful, beautifully created. I highly recommend this film to all. The film takes you across 3 countries, U.S., Mexico and Brazil. It is about fate and destiny and finding your identity. A young Brazillian girl does just that when she meets a Mexican wandering, lonely journalist outside a Tijuana night club. At first I wondered what the two can have in common and why they met. However, as the story unfolds one begins to see how fate has indeed brought them together. The movie is sensual, as the beautiful Alice Braga is captivating and real. The movie also touches on some Latin stereotypes which I found to be very cute and funny, as did the rest of the audience. The beginning of the film is carefree and free-spirited as the leading lady is and yet towards the end it begins to evolve into something deeper and complex. As an added plus, the movie has some great music. Julietta Venegas and Oto. For those who like their music like I do you will really enjoy this. If you have never heard of them, trust me it was chosen very well for this film and I know you will like it. So bottom line I give this movie a 10! I recommend it to everyone. If you are just looking for a feel good movie that is all fluff, well this isn't for you (sch as the lady who commented above) But if you would like an interesting movie that is real and thought provoking then you will like this a lot. Oh, and about the religious part. What they did reveal, about it was just enough. I don't think the Director would have had to gone into great detail in explaining the belief system, in fact I am glad he didn't or it would have taken the movie in another tangent. Everyone knows that we Latino's/Latina's have a foundation in faith and various religious beliefs, depending on one's country of origin. It was weaved in perfectly throughout the end of the movie. Can't wait to buy my copy of this movie!!!

AndrewYang I had the opportunity to see this movie at a personal screening, and I thought it was terrific. I didn't know much about the film going in, but I found myself very quickly drawn into the narrative and the characters. The film was shot very well, and used a lot of interesting perspectives and angles (along with some great natural backdrops).I also felt special seeing this movie before it's released - when it's released you should give it a look. It's surprising and moving.Plus I didn't realize until later where I'd seen the actress before . . . she was the young woman from City of God that the narrator had a crush on! City of God was one of my all-time favorite movies . . .

spicuzz First of all, this movie is great. It has a two-way meaning, plus the inclusion of a photographic story.The problem here is that public must pay the necessary attention to it AND NOT TALK DURING THE MOVIE!!!! (I watched it on Guadalajara Film Fest 'n there were 3 Televisa soap-opera writers who didn't stop talking during all the movie!!! Obviously they didn't understand the meaning of it!) The beauty of this film is that uses the same wasted theme: a love story; but Bolado gives it another meaning, a reflection meaning, leading the viewer to a land where the exploration of the strange ways of the life are the fact that catches up all the attention.Bolado also gives us a vision of different countries and places which is almost unknown, like the modern Mexico City or the tribes of Brazil, without forgetting the Rumorosa passage.But most important is the fascination that Bolado portrays for different religions, and how they can coexist in the same individual.

willden21 3/4stars This starts as a magical and beautiful film about love and destiny and fate and religion. Is there a divine purpose to our lives? Many questions are pondered in this loving film.It starts out as a simple road trip film where a Brazillian student on visa to SAn Diego goes to Tijuana and loses her passport. Then embarks on a wonderful journey with a new found friend to Mexico City to retrieve another one. The first hour is pure magic. An absolute joy to watch, full of mystery, romance, laughter, and humanity. Then as the film moves it's scenery to Brazil it dives into spirituality and faith and begins to slowly meander while still staying strong, until the last quarter relies on overdramatized cliché which does not ruin the film, but does however slow it down and change the overall tone of the film.Overall, Solo Dios Sabe is beautifully shot and edited and wonderfully acted by everyone involved, sadly as the film progresses the screenplay slowly fizzles out towards the end. Still many many positives leave this as being well worth recommending as a wonderful epic love story.3 stars out of 4 stars
