I TRIED SO HARD TO LIKE THIS MOVIE I'm all for giving movies. a chance, and trust I watched till the end without a skip. it just lacked progression. everything was at one point from start to finish, they was no intensity or climax. 2/10

This movie was real worth the wait. It was written well and shot superbly. I was not sure what to expect. The lead actors are incredible and stunning to look at. Very relatable and topical. Not your typical gay movie or even jail movie.

This film was two hours long, but I wasn't bored at all. The director and writer were adept at letting bits of the back story drip into the narrative of everyday prison life. Ruben, for all his diffidence and unworldliness showed he could adapt to life inside and hold his own with the best of them and that best was Carlos, with whom he shared a cell. This wasn't a predictable drama. It wasn't just guys getting frustrated and making out. There was an overarching story. Ruben, especially, opened up and told Carlos about his past and was honest about it, especially about why he was in prison. The scene the morning after the lovemaking really affected me. Ernesto Reyes's acting was impeccable here. Moving into the future, matters needed to be resolved regarding family arrangements. I was less convinced by the last fifteen minutes of the film, especially by the way the writer had chosen to impart tension. What we heard offscreen was unnecessary and, in my view, amateurish. I can't say much more without getting into spoilers as this film had a linear narrative. It was well worth watching and I'd recommend it.
