This movie is about how life used to be in Mexico. It is a love story between Pedro and Tita, and why they couldn't get married because Tita's mother wanted her oldest daughter to get married first, and have Tita to stay and take care of her. It shows how marriage was imposed on those times, and how a love between two people can change everything.
This is supposed to be a great film, but for me it just did not resonate. I appreciate the movie to a point, and it is good to see a film from Mexico (the country needs a bigger industry, perhaps). Most of all, I love that apparently Robert Rodriguez hung around the set before becoming an A-list director for Hollywood.
But overall, this is not one that really had any impact on me whatsoever, so I can only give it a middling grade.
