i have hear ( positive thing ) about arturo ripstein before and but this be his first film i have see . if this be one of his masterpiece and then it will likely be my last . the film be nearly as despicable a the two character feature in it . i will confess i be no fan of true crime and but i be the victim here and not the culprit . additionally any film base on a true story be generally suspect . horrendous acting and and peculiar pacing be only some of the glare crime . vaguely you could make the case for this be about gluttony and vanity and or that ripstein break with hollywood convention by have an actor and actress with unconventional face . but those convention have be shatter properly many time with film far more engaging or entertain than this . potential spoiler follow and but the film be already spoil enough and anything but profound and although definitely steep in crimson blood . please see something from one of the other film i have review positively here . light spoilerswhat be the point of have coral toy with redemption in the last of the crime in their murder spree . she have already be set up a extremely unsympathetic from the first few scene and lead up to the one with her own daughter and son and thus the scene with a replacement daughter just doesn not wash at all . the blood have soak through and through . again by have his lead character so horrendous and ripstein take any force out of the foible display by the other character . we feel awkwardly sorry for some of the target and but they too be generally give a grotesque caricature . above i mention the obvious gluttony ( coral ) and vanity ( nicolas ) and other character do bring in lasciviousness and false piety and thing that vaguely echo the seven deadly sin and but this film just do not work on any level for me . odd stab at humor seem woefully out of place and and add only a sense of insolence to injury . okay and maybe for the lighting i will give this a negative .
