Está Barato, Dame Dos.

I lived in Venezuela when the saying was "It's Cheap, Give Me Two!" (as the title says in Spanish). This saying originated in the 80's. Venezuela was democratic and rich. The exchange rate was 4.35 Bolos=$1. Many middle class would travel to the US and buy a lot of stuff because "It's Cheap, Give Me Two!" So sad how Venezuela changed in just a few years after Chavez/Maduro's election in '99.The movie deserves the current 7.8 rating. The acting is very good and Spanish was spoken with the proper accent (kinda of important for authenticity). Simón is psychologically scared while trying to get asylum in Miami. The ending closes all questions.

if you're not Venezuelan, it probably wont do anything for you

This is the movie on everybody's mouth right now in Venezuela.It deals with one of the most, if not the most trying, horrifying and heart wrenching moment in Venezuelan history, which were the 2014 and 2017 protests when hundreds of young people (most of them students) were mercilessly killed by the national army.Well, the movie doesnt depict those moments, it just shows you glimpses of it, as the movie is about a young man who participated in those protests and then moved to Miami, and now he is dealing with PTSD, basically.Even though I am Venezuelan and I lived through those times, the film didnt really impacted me emotionally for the most part.I think maybe it was the lack of Venezuela in general, as the majority of the movie takes place in Miami. There's only one shot of Caracas, and then the scenes that take place in Venezuela happen in a run down abandoned horrible place where our protagonist was held captive.The monologue by Franklin Virguez was definitely the highlight of the film. The lighting in that scene, everything was terrifying. The protagonist's acting was pretty good too.But in general, I think it lacked contrast, it would have been more effective if they showed some happy times in our protagonist's life in his home country and they should have definitely added his parents to the story since dozens of parents lost a child during those protests, and many of them were constantly on the news.I also was not sold on the action of the film being the whole situation with the medicine.I dont know, I think this movie is by Venezuelans for Venezuelans, it really doesnt have that universal thing about it, it feels way too specific, if that makes sense.And that universal aspect is precisely the amazing thing about movies. You can watch a movie that has absolutely nothing to do with you or your country, that was made in a time when you weren't even born, and that movie can resonate with you in ways you Never imagined.But as I mentioned in the title, this film will probably only resonate with venezuelans for the most part.And it is the type of movie people will love simply because of the subject matter, not because the movie itself is actually great.

Just Amazing! A film that makes you reflect on the current Venezuelan problems but with a universally moldable context. Flawless direction and photography with such a small budget. An exquisite plot twist and performances that invite you to look beyond the typical Hollywood. In addition, the political controversy that surrounds it gives it an extra flavor... I went to see it at the cinema and I only saw the faces of the spectators as they felt it, they cried... and in advance I tell you, no matter how fictional it may seem, this is absolutely nothing compared to what Venezuelans have actually experienced.
