I was so upset about this movie that I almost asked the theater for my money back.
The movie starts out promising, but heavy handed- Selma Hayek does a great job of portraying a two dimensional brown woman who eschews make-up, high heels and pretensions. Instead she's a 'healer' who loves her goats and thinks that the world needs help, but in this non-concrete, ineffective tree hugging hippie sort of way.
The other characters are similarly two-dimensional, rich tropes trying to have a good time chatting about nothing while Selma 'ruins the party' with her awkward conversation about heavy topics.
No one is relatable in this film.
The plot drones on and it's like watching a train-wreck of awkward personal interactions. Its mostly boring but uncomfortable, even when there are confrontations and 'sparks fly'.
Then after all of that, the ending is THE WORST. For whatever reason while the happy rich white people are lighting lanterns, she decides to go drown herself in the ocean which ends the film. This makes no sense and is just pathetic. Even my bad ideas are better than this, and I don't make them into movies.
This movie was so bad that I made an account with IMDb just so I could warn other people about how awful it is. Please don't go see this. Just have a drink instead.
