This is the most depressing movie I've ever watched. My teacher had us watch it in Spanish class, and even though I'm glad we didn't have to conjugate verbs, I can safely say this was a terrible movie. The whole movie was leading up to the point where we would see Valentin's mom, but that never happened. Why would they mention her so many times if she was never going to appear? The ending was really flat as well. It feels like they were rushing to finish the movie and came up with that. Overall it was pretty disappointing and I wouldn't watch it again.
