Filmed well. Great Actors. The Period was captured well except for the dialogue. Cecilia Suarez was on fire. Alejandro Speitzer...Hot. To give the series a little tenderness and soften the violence tone a little I would have had Alonso tell Gabino in the car that he was in love and has always loved him. Dona Amparo was kinda hard to relate too. Someone of her station in 1950's would have never spoken like she was dubbed. Which leads me to the Dubbing....so only a 2 on language and dialect. It was 1950's but the dialect and phrasing was too 2019 and current casual street talk. Should have worked on the dialect a little more for the period. It was too modern of a dialect for the period. Otherwise good watching.

Been on my list for a few months and today; a rainy Saturday, was the perfect day to sit in my chair and watch it. To feel love that deep is a once in a lifetime event. (some would disagree and that's ok) This movie hit me from all directions. Even the Bryan Ferry reference. I meet the most amazing gorgeous Gay man when I first came out in a bar and he took me to his swanky high-rise apartment and he played Bete Noire and Boys and Girls all night and I immediately fell in love with him. We dated off and on for several years. He too died of AIDS related complications. I'm also still in love with my long time (from 7th grade) best friend. He is not Gay but he gave me lots of love and attention until people put two and two together and he couldn't stand the pressure anymore and he "broke-up" with me in spectator fashion...he punched my face and broke my nose.....his name was John. Not ever being able to be with the man I have loved my whole life, this movie made me feel what could have been. I've been told that he did ask around for me but since I had moved away to the big city I lost touch with him over the many years and often wonder what that would look like if we did meet again. I also had a very good friend who died of AIDS and no one was allowed to be with him in the hospital room. This was very early on and no one knew how to handle it or even knew what it was and especially not in a small town away from California and NYC. So I busted in the room and told the nurse.... I am going to see my friend because there is no way he would die alone. They let me stay and after he passed I help craft policy when it came to visiting people with AIDS even though I had never done anything like that before. Then my best girlfriend died of osteosarcoma after a 4 year battle. I was with her as she drew her last breath. The movie is beautifully done and the chemistry was fire! For Gay men in middle age or older it was like watching the 80's & early 90's be told from our perspective. Thank You for that. On a lighter note....I'm loving me some Ryan Corr. He is my dream man; in the movie anyway, and ironically looks a lot like my John that I could never have. A Must See.
