Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Abel returns to the family home after two years in hospital for an undisclosed mental health problem which has rendered him silent. He is nine years old, and doesn't know what his role is in the family, until he finds an old family photograph and realises what the family in the photo had that the family he has encountered upon his homecoming does not have. It does not have a father. Christopher Ruiz-Esparza, as Abel, delivers a subtle but powerful portrayal of a boy locked in to himself who is desperately trying to find a role that will help him make sense of his life. Diego Luna gets as captivating and mature a performance out of him and his real life younger brother Gerardo as Michael Winterbottom did from his sibling child actors in the film 'Everyday'. A remarkable and disturbing film all round.

1. It's Diego Luna.2. It's Diego Luna.3. It's Diego Luna.And if that's not enough to get you to watch this film, you must not know Diego Luna.The film explores cultural familial roles, mental health culture and stigma in Mexico, and forces viewers to examine the effects of family in culture.Basically, it's amazing.The acting is spectacular. The performances are absolutely spot on. Casting was perfect. The music is perfect. The photography is perfect. Lighting, set, and characterization are perfect. Per-freaking-fection.

"Think, therefore I am" is the best way I could describe this movie. The Director shows how a child with a mental illness found its place in this world by assuming the role of the family's head in the absent of it. Something to think about is how this child built its role in his head by models found in old fashion movies, and then the film shows what happens when he found a free way to expressed himself without finding any obstacle playing the father and husband's role, accepted by a mother who found in this odd behavior, a hope to rescue him from an mental isolation life.Life is the addition of little moments with a meaning and this film shows a drama with those funny and tragic moments of the family.The director let us see urban art invoking nostalgic moments from past decades in its scenes and little details. He did a great work to catch the natural and graceful performance of the children.

Diego Luna's first film is a good movie about a kid with a mental disorder. The boy named Abel (Christhoper Ruiz Esparza) is the main character in this story about a middle-class Mexican family. This boy take the place of his father (nobody known about him by 2 years)trying to fill out the space at the father in the lives of his brothers. This movie has drama and comedy in an interesting mix. Jose Maria Yazpick (Anselmo's character)deserves a special mention, very good actor. The movie change from drama at beginning, comedy in the middle and return to drama. This is a god film but needs more punch at end to become a great, I noted that Luna needed more experienced to make it an extraordinary movie.
