About
You may like this if you enjoy provocative, darkly funny character studies about ambition and excess, especially if Jamon Jamon or Kika appeal to you; Not for you if you want a gentle lead or subtle storytelling.
Pros: bold tragic arc; provocative energy; vivid Spanish flavor | Cons: unlikable lead; shallow themes; sexually explicit content
