I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
This movie shows the human side of a great leader, Evo Morales, the struggles he had to deal with, the abusive power from foreign nations that used to control his country. It shows Evo as a human being, starting his political career. Can't wait for the second part about his life as a President! The other characters also play an important role in the movie, although there are some facts (important I would say) that are missing in this movie, the goal I think for this movie was to show Evo Morales as a human being with fears, hopes and close ties to his friends. The story of a self-made leader in Bolivia... simply inspiring! Great movie, well worth watching!
