"Querida, Voy a Comprar Cigarrillos y Vuelvo" is definitely a very unusual film. The idea of the script is brilliant... just the idea, because this idea needs huge polishing and a great memorable film could have been made if this fact had been present. The film is interesting, definitely it will keep you watching until the end, and it is quite short (1 hour and 20 minutes), so I do recommend it. Beware, however, it is quite depressing: many facts about life that are true but nobody wants to acknowledge, come into light in the film and not precisely in a subtle way. I kept wondering if it's a 6 or a 7. Finally I gave it 6: for IMDb 6 is not too good, but in my scale it is a good mark.

Brilliant if you like smart movies

Querida Voy a Comprar Cigarrillos y Vuelvo Is truly a masterpiece. It's definitely not your everyday movie.
The setting is really relatable. The characters are down to Earth and have simple psychological profiles. The acting is amazing. Even supporting actors and actresses were very believable. Combine that with a good script and the narrations of the original book's author, and bingo! A great movie is born.
Everybody behaves and reacts exactly the way people actually would. The movie forces you to think what you'd do if you were in a position to make what people normally consider life-changing decisions.
The soundtrack is nice. The pace is quick and since it's a relatively short movie (under 90') so it'll likely keep you interested the whole time.
When things don't work out the way you expect them to, you can't help but to ask yourself: what could I have done differently to get a more desirable outcome? Querida Voy a Buscar Cigarrillos y Vuelvo dives right into that - and does so brilliantly!
