The height of unblinking realism punctuated here and again by a marvellous symbolic intelligence and marked by extraordinary performances.

I have no clue why anyone would want to write, produce, or view a movie like this.

this movie was awesome. Incredibly sad, but well acted and a brilliant look into the real life on Mexico City's streets.

La pelicula no es tan mala. Tiene muy buenas actuaciones (la mejor, sin duda, Vanessa). El problema viene en el rapido final. Creo que es too much. Todo, en general.
