Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

david_b_chavez Don't get caught up in the attempted artistry of satiracle dark humor. Anybody can claim something is art and it be a scapegoat. Love all actors... but they should've sat this one out. There's no story and it's devoid of meaning. There's nothing beautiful and there's no hidden message... Salma spends half of the movie showing you she is connected to the family and spend the other half proving she's not by just stating a bunch of rude nonsense in a random manner. I never write reviews... I love all movies... that have a point... this one didn't.... It is what it is...

Bob-562 The premise is pretty obvious (earthy-crunchy Selma vs. rich white pigs), but the movie actually descends from there to its pathetic, pat conclusion. Selma Hayek is earnest in her role, but the part, as written, makes her a symbol rather than a living, breathing character. John Lithgow steals the show, as the Trump-like snake-oil real-estate developer, as he is perfectly spot-on in the film. Lithgow can be quite a hammy bad guy (eg., "Cliffhanger," bad accent & all), but here he is obviously the heavy, though also a human being, unlike Beatriz. The conclusion gives us an obviously out-of-reality experience, as Beatriz follows the protagonist of Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" (1899), in taking that long swim at the end. I'm FULLY sympathetic with the filmmakers' intentions, but this is so heavy-handed & totally manipulative, that I think it ranks up there with "The Day After Tomorrow" (i.e., "Two Days Later") as a well-intentioned but profoundly flawed flick.

moultondeborah I was misled by the comedy/drama label on this film. There is nothing funny about it. It might be sly or ironic, but it's definitely not comedy! Both Hayek and Lithgow have done better work elsewhere.

uroscadez-1 If you have anything better to do and I mean anything .... like say spinning your fidget spinner or playing with marbles.. just do that instead. This movie is way more boring than anything you can think of. dumb plot, 1D characters and worst ending ever. both director and writer should just start looking for another job...movie business is not their strong suit.
