While the cinematography of this film is beautiful, it falls flat in its story telling. The movie expects you to understand itself be either relating to its characters and/or reading the book before beforehand. If you haven’t done either then this movie will be weird, confusing, and long!

Right from the start, the movie seems lost, trying to find a direction, but ends up getting even more lost. It veers off in several directions, without hitting any of them. The script is weak, with simple and repetitive dialogues, while the editing makes the pace uneven, with several random scenes that add nothing to the narrative. In addition, the film is excessively restrained, even the scenes that should be bolder lack impact and seem bland. Although some surreal elements are present and the make-up and effects are well done, they are poorly fitted into the plot. At times, they are so clumsy that they border on embarrassing.

Mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, this is the best work I've seen from Daniel Craig - he's beyond fantastic in this. There are also lots of strong visuals, especially towards the end of the film. On the other hand, I definitely felt this dragged. I haven't read the book, but I am familiar with some of Burroughs' other work, and I do appreciate that his style of writing is not exactly the easiest to translate on screen. This film has very little in terms of a plot. As great as I found Daniel Craig to be, the co-lead didn't really do it for me. He was fine, but I felt he was constantly overshadowed by how brilliant Craig was in every scene. Will need to reflect on this some more, but as of now, I can't say I'm in a rush to watch it again.

Another queer movie about a much older man dating a young guy.. bored of directors just writing a weak fantasy flick. There is a wealth of amazing queer cinema, this aint part of that.

My expectations betrayed me with this film, not because of the quality but because of the type of story. Far from being a queer romance in 20th century Mexico, it is a personal quest that gets lost in the metaphor as the plot progresses.

I understand that the protagonist is looking for an emotiona More

Were it not for the fact that it features an ex "007", I reckon this would be an almost instantly forgettable gay-themed drama that could easily be found on Dekkoo in a year to two. Anyway, Daniel Craig is the independently wealthy "Lee" and living in a Mexico City where in between tequila and heroi More
