I Miss You (2019) User Reviews

Tommy Heleringer makes this movie! A real scene stealer.

You have to see Tommy in Tu me manques. He steals the whole movie. I highly recommend. But the writing and his delivery are perfection in this movie.

Interesting

Following the death of his son, Jorge travels from conservative Bolivia to NYC to confront Sebastian, who was his son's lover. While he struggles to accept the life of his son, Sebastian begins to write a play that celebrates his deceased lover.

Tu Me Manques was the official selection for the Best International Feature Film in the 2019 Academy Awards. Now, it's available in America.

The title, which means I Miss You, tells the story of Gabriel's life intercut with the idealized version of his life within Sebastian's play. Meanwhile, we follow Jorge as he searches New York City to try and find something to remember of his son.

Gabriel is played by several actors in this - within the real life of the movie and the play within it - and his suicide hangs over the future of every person that remains. This is an emotional watch but one worth viewing.

I Miss You (Spanish: Tu me manques) is a 2019 Bolivian drama film directed by Rodrigo Bellott 🎭

It's very good! 😀 I'd recommend it 👍🏼 D

A touching movie with a good mix of humour, drama, and sentiment.

Probably the best gay-themed movie I've ever seen

[pete3194 · 10/10 · 14 April 2020]

An undoubted highlight of the (sadly coronavirus-related truncated) Melbourne Queer Film Festival 2020, the rich emotionality of this astoundingly brilliantly written and acted movie far transcends some potentially intrusive and distracting storytelling devices (primarily the portrayal of the main character's ex-boyfriend by three actors, sometimes intercut and alternated within the same scene). The truly beautiful Tommy Heleringer as possibly *the gayest* character ever to grace a cinema screen is a stand-out performance amongst a plethora of perfection. Just an incredible and heartbreaking film.

Superb

The movie (which is not and doesn't want to be a/the play) is cleverly written. The emotions are given but it makes you think, not just the way you think it'd do. You have to figure out what's happening - and this is also the one negative point. Needing to put it together while watching detours the focus somewhat from the important message - but in the end it all comes together and beside it's message it becomes a valued movie experience! Well done.

Brilliant gay mens movie!

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! And you'll love it too! :)

Acting

[Artbrute · 5/10 · 1 October 2020]

This film could be a winner, but the acting made me stop watching it several times. Sometimes less is more and trying to show so many emotions at the same time confuses the viewer and it becomes silly. I loved some lines, that shows depth and intelligence. When you're too angry at others, you're angry at yourself, I guess. The soundtrack is brilliant. I expected more and I feel robbed.

Misses the mark

[qui_j · 4/10 · 20 October 2021]

This is a poorly told story that uses a bad script and terrible cinematography. The audio is bad, and the confused editing doesn't provide much continuity for viewers. If it tried to be less "artistic" and more realistic, it could have been a good film. In its present iteration, it's just .....stupid and unfulfilling.

A poor representation of Bolivia gay community and Almodovar cinematography.

[jumaos · 2/10 · 17 August 2021]

Besides the acting of the two main protagonists, the story falls into a white, golden body, and narcissistic idealism of homosexuality, which dosen't represent at all of Bolivian LGBT community.

Can be better

Movie make no sense if this was really based in a play. Where is the play? No mention of the play based on the main story. The play came from nothing and no meaning at all. Sound is awful. At least have subtitles in English. Some of the Spanish hard to understand or hear.
