Negative Positive
Title: Magical Realism
Review: First a warning...to really enjoy this story you must totally suspend disbelief, you must not expect clean explanations, you must be familiar with magical realism.The first time I saw this film, I actually found it boring and confusing, but upon a second viewing, I saw all I had missed the first time around. This is a truly enchanting comedy about a young girl and her struggle to escape the grasp of her abusive grandmother. Few words are spoken by the girl, but she conveys her feelings with the haunted look in her eyes. It would seem that this movie was meant to be a drama, and it is, but it is also a bittersweet comedy that is ironic, satyrical, and deeply satisfying. Best understood when viewed twice.
