Featured review
In this film the story develops a reflection on how we see death and what we think when we know that someone important to us is going to die.
With a pretty good script, it manages to tell us the story in a subtle way, with an unexpected outcome, it manages to expose the message of taking advantage of the time we have to be with the people we love. It has good acting, good visuals, good photography, and good character development. Although the way the story is told may seem a bit slow, it works to understand what each of the characters feel without falling into cheap sentimentality.
With some situations that happen at the precise moment, the film has a good balance between comedy, drama and fantasy, this film is worth seeing.
