Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Bx_TrUestNYC first of all the real version is in English and the movie needs more then 4 stars it was a great film and had an all UK star cast and u.s all star cast and it cost 8 million euros to make it id give this one 6 stars of how great the acting and the movie was especially Stephanie Leonidas who's of Dominican Greek and British orgin she was the best actress of the film so it make the film a great one oh and about the person who comment on it before he/she is wrong because the American producer of warner home video who's gonna bring the movie to the u.s said is going to be one of the best movie of the year 2006 so whoever comment on that the film was bad hop off! from Albert Vasquez Dominican American 15 year old bye

racapellan2003 first of all this movie is nothing like the book and is definitely not the era of Trujillo. Hollywood is not, they should have given it to Hollywood but they didn't. it looks like it was filmed entirely at night, there's no show of the country because everything looks like it took place at night maybe because of lack of funds or imagination. the acting, well I rather not comment on that, suffice is to say that to me is worth 2 stars. the Spanish version, we have Trujillo speaking Catalan like if he was born in Spain, and so is everyone else for that matter, from the top of the military to the bellhop. I waited for this movie only to he highly disappointed, it sucks big time. thanks god I did not pay a lot of money to see it, then it would have been a really big disappointment. Iam Dominican, and in fact I even got to meet Trujillo once, and I tell you that wasn't him or even a close resemblance. I truly hope that one day, Hollywood would decide to do Trujillo justice and then we will have like a second godfather, full of the violence that existed during the period and true to trill's character.

yorkelvis I am a Dominican, and it's always good to see movies that are about facts from my country. I was waiting for this movie, everybody knows the book it's already a classic, Trujillo's era it's one of the bloodiest of all the dictators-ships that Latin America has suffer. Well, this movie is based on the book of the same name, but it's very difficult to top the book's magic in a two hours film. It's not a bad movie, but it's not what should have been. Nice cinematography in some scenes but the director fails in portray to us the strongest side of the characters. I give the movie a 6 out of 10, cause anyways, it's a good approach to the book, and the people that doesn't know about this story, i recommend this movie as the best out there about Trujillo and his "nasty" regime.

Sebastian Zavala At last, Luis Llosa, our "international" Peruvian director, after making movies such as "Anaconda", has made a good movie. La Fiesta del Chivo (or "The Feast of the Goat") is a very good movie based on Mario Vargas Llosa's novel of the same title: it's powerful, emotive, and of high caliber.The movie tells the story of how the Dominican Republic's dictator, Trujillo, was killed, and also the story of a woman who was the victim of Trujillo's barbaric acts.The acting in the movie is very good. Isabella Rosselini is specially powerful as the grown-up Uranita, and Paul Freeman is believable and emotive as Agustín Cabral, Urania's father and "friend" of Trujillo. The rest of the cast is also good, and are a good complement for the main actors. Special mention to Tomas Milian, whose Trujillo is impressive, imposing and powerful.This is a truly good movie. It has great acting, competent direction, and an interesting and sometimes impacting story. (Spoilers - if you are a sensitive person, you MAY be affected by the rape scene.) This is a movie that truly deserves to be named along with the name of Mario Vargas Llosa - it's powerful, emotive and highly interesting.
