Not good

Huesera, the directorial debut of Mexican filmmaker Michelle Garza Cervera, presents itself as a film exploring the desire to be a mother and the consequences of having a child, all within a horror premise. However, the result is a movie that, although ambitious, leaves much to be desired.One of the standout elements is undoubtedly Natalia Solián's performance. Her acting effectively conveys the nerves, fears, and trauma of being a first-time mother. Solián grabs the viewer's attention by making every emotion and doubt of her character feel genuine. The issue, however, is that the script and narrative don't support her.The biggest problem with Huesera lies in its pacing and storytelling. The film becomes boring and tedious at several points, especially when it delves into areas where horror should be at the forefront but isn't. The lack of a consistent atmosphere of fear causes the film to lose its focus. The horror elements are missing, which leads to the film losing the tone it initially promised.The script, on the other hand, is another weak point. The story feels incomplete, with many narrative gaps. There are moments where it seems material was cut during post-production, leaving unanswered questions and unexplained events. This affects the coherence of the plot.

Manage Your Expectations

This should not be categorized as a horror movie. You can see from other reviews that people are upset at their expectations not being met. Although it does have some horror-like scares, it is a different experience altogether, more of a character study. However, the way that the story unfolds requires patience and an open mind. There are some allegorical elements that are not explicitly made clear in the movie. This could lead to some viewers feeling like the story leaves too many details unexplained. I thought it was well-written and gave an interesting look into the experience of a young Mexican woman dealing with the limited options imposed on her by family and society. The few supernatural elements sprinkled in are a smaller part of the story, which is mostly a psychological drama. I ended up liking the main character, so that influenced my enjoyment of the film, but not every viewer is going to understand or support her choices.
