About
You may like this if you enjoy flamenco, stage-to-screen performances, and emotionally charged stories told mostly through movement, especially if Carmen appeals to you; Not for you if you need brisk pacing or lots of dialogue.
Pros: passionate flamenco dancing; gorgeous music; emotionally expressive | Cons: very little dialogue; thin story depth; may feel slow
