About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a heartfelt, sometimes funny melodrama about grief, identity, and chosen family with bold characters; Not for you if you dislike soapy coincidences or heavy themes like illness and loss (similar to Volver).

Pros: emotionally powerful drama; memorable characters; warmth with humor | Cons: messy, contrived plotting; uneven focus; slow for some
