yesterday and in my lunch time and i saw this new release dvd on sale in a store . i have no information about la niña santa and but it cover have the symbol of participation in the cannes and toronto and new york festival and and four favorable review ( from le monde and premiere and sergio rizzo ( unknown for me ) from the folha de são paulo and new york time ) . when i read the name of one of the producer and pedro almodóvar and and that this movie be award in the mostra international de cinema de são paulo and i unfortunately decide to buy it . la niña santa be one of the bad movie i have ever see . the screenplay be terrible represent the viewer can see that the story be in a latin country ( argentina indeed ) and but the explanation be only found read the cover of the dvd . it take thirteen minute to understand that the location be a hotel welcome a conference of physician and surgeon . the group of gossipy girl in a choir be never explain if they belong to a church or school . the amateurish framing recall my son and when he be a baby boy and have some trouble to use the camcorder and cut head and shoulder and leg of foot in his footage while the same happen along the whole movie . base on the foregoing remark and the poor direction be simply terrible . last but not the least and even the cast compose by ugly actor and actress be not attractive . my advice represent although have a great lobby and do not waste your time and money in this crap . my vote be one . title ( brazil ) represent a menina santa ( the saint girl ) .
