| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A disturbing picture of reality in the slums... |
| I wasn't sure what I was getting here. Was worried that it was more dodgy than it turned out to be. This was quite delightful - has a sad ending for you romantics out there like me...just an early warning for you. I like that the family not only accept Maximo's sexuality but cherish and encourage him. There is no shame - just support and protectiveness. The family are a "successful" crime family - living quite a nice life in their neighbourhood. Well for them it seems a nice life...not for me that's for sure. Maximo (Nathan Lopez) was played so well, utterly beautiful in the delivery of his character. In comes the new cop - strong, brave, handsome and not corrupt. The latter seems to be unusual in this place. Maxi falls into an infatuation - worrying the family who have much to hide. Unfortunately things become as bad as they can. Won't ruin it for you. However, the cop turns out to be not so brave and easily corruptible for the cause (stopping crime and seeking vengeance). Nothing happens between Maxi and the cop, nothing sexual I mean. Emotionally the boy is more mature, he puts himself out there and is rebuffed. Later on the cop seeks out the boy but the boy has become a man - straight or gay I am not sure. But strong enough to say no to someone he may still love but who is not the man he thought he was - who is not worthy. Sad, funny, lovable, sad, full of hope and acceptance is how I would sum this up. I love a happy ending - boy gets girl, boy gets boy or whoever gets whoever they want. This isn't it, but it didn't seem to matter, which is very unusual for me. Enjoy:0) | |
