Good concept, poorly executed.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

A beautiful film from Venezuela. The title actually translates as "Blue and Not So Pink," but has been dumbed down to "My Straight Son." The movie is an exploration of things we wish were different and how we deal with them - be they the tragedies of life, first love, gender identity, physical appearance, bad relationships, or self-confidence. Every character offers a different element that they struggle with and their own unique solution. The film wraps it up in wonderful, believable relationships and intelligent dialogue. The plot takes you a bit all over the place, but the story never looses your attention. The actors are all uniformly brilliant and the emotion is genuine. Courageous and heartwarming, this is meaningful work and well worth anyone's time. One of my favourites.

Great movie that touch your soul and get into your feelings in a very lovely and sincerely way, Oh My God! Thanks so much for doing movies like this to the Director and Writer, Miguel Ferrari :) The acting of the whole cast was so real, it is like if they were living a true story. Congratulations to Guillermo Garcia and Ignacio Montes (Diego Martinez and Armando Martinez) for their acting, all their family issues were like in real life, their relationship, wow!; also to Hilda Abrahamz who was cast in a wonderful character and had a fantastic performance, she was so perfect as Delirio del Rio/Alejandra Duarte/Alejo Duarte!!!

I didn't really plan to see the film. A group of friends asked me to go and I agreed, so my expectations were really low. The movie ended up surprising me.Azul y no tan Rosa might be one of the best Venezuelan films ever made. The story may be a bit too melodramatic, but it says a lot about tolerance and family relationships. The acting, even though not great, is decent. There are laughs, tender moments, sad moments and the movie is really nice to look at because of the locations.I recommend this movie to anyone who thinks Venezuelan cinema is trash (which is not). It won the Goya Award for best Ibero-American Film, which represented a big win for Venezuela too.

As a Venezuelan-Spanish co-production, Michael Ferrari breaks the stereotypes that have been used in the Venezuelan film, drives an impeccable appearance and a photograph of the hand of Alexandra Henao, fascinates viewers. Plans and camera movements in international cinema quality, enrich this film production which further supported his scenes with the cool colors and characterized.In his debut, Azul y no tan Rosa, Ferrari presents a thesis which is certainly quite complex: intolerance for sexual diversity is a topic which is naturally difficult to address and that the director handled the film with a very positive simplicity, however the story tries to cover multiple frames as domestic violence, lack of communication between parents and children, gender change and low self-esteem, which, although they are strongly linked to the central idea, causes a slight imbalance in the argument.It is almost impossible for the extraordinary soundtrack of this film go unnoticed. Composed by the brilliant Spanish pianist Sergio de la Puente, music composition gives it strength and character to the story hard to describe. The rhythm, melody and harmony beautify the scenes, muting, at times, the dialogue in a timely manner. No doubt invaluable added intensity.Despite the mistakes that can be glimpsed in the film, Azul y no tan Rosa becomes literally eye drops for Venezuelan film. Definitely a work in which Miguel Ferrari adorns his directorial debut.For Venezuela, a discussion of the Venezuelan cinema today is painful and inconsequential. To summarize, with this film, which tries to cover a little of this reality so degrading.
