Rob Marshall's directing debut was 'Chicago' and even though it was a tremendous succes (it won the best picture academy award back then), I thought it was terribly disappointing and a total bore to watch. For his second directing effort, Marshall had once again a high profile project so I was keen to give him another chance. Eventually, it was received with some mixed reviews. There was a lot of ... read more

CheoFuenmayor posted a review 6 years, 1 month ago

“Me pareció interesante que es una película que podría clasificarse como "feminista", pero no promueve ninguna de las ideas tóxicas que maneja el feminismo en la actualidad, ni tampoco victimiza a las mujeres haciendolas parecer inferiores o menos capaces que los hombres. Para ser honesto puede llegar a ser un poco aburrida y me molestó el hecho de que fuese en ingés cuando se hace evidente que la mayoría del reparto no manejaba bien el idioma, pero creo que puede ser muy interesante para la ayoría de las mujeres, mientras que los hombres deben tener cierto amor a las películas para disfrutarla.” read more
