The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

this movie has great songs by Rocio Durcal and Enrique Guzmán. Good acting by all involved and the editing of the movie is fast, accurate and enjoyable. I have a VHS copy which is not in very good state but has seen a DVD advertised in Spain; would like to have that DVD. The director has made quite a lot of this type of movies with Rocio and other Spanish and Latin actors; he knows how to present the funny parts in the screen keeping also the music of the actor as part of the plot. the camera moves a lot and angles look very nice and smooth. "Acompañame" was a huge hit in America, specially Central and South America and even among the Spanish population in the States. This type of DVD would really sell well in America, it's a pity there's very little interest or lack of vision to market them here. Great entertainment with this movie!
