Why watch this film?
Written by eight hands along with screenwriters like Yibrán Asuad ("All the Freckles in the World"), among others, filmmaker Humberto Hinojosa Ozcariz ("Path to Mars") delivers in "Un papá pirata" a dramatic comedy with a theme rarely tackled head-on in national cinema: father abandonment, the true meaning of paternity, and, in general, family ties beyond blood relatives. Even if it can feel repetitive at times, it's a movie that moves thanks to elements such as its soundtrack and performances, particularly those of Miguel Rodarte ("Perfect Strangers"), Andrés Almeida ("Time Share") and star Luis de la Rosa ("While the Wolf Is Away"). There are also very funny cameos that those who grew up with Mexican television in the 90s will enjoy.

I Hate Love
‘I Hate Love’ is a Mexican romantic drama, well-executed with all the characteristics of the genre. Even if it doesn't stray too far from conventions, it has a great story of teenage drama with a love triangle, excellent pacing, and a mysterious element in the deafness of one of its characters. Additionally, thanks to wonderful cinematography and featuring Christian Vázquez and Diego Cataño in its cast (both obligatory references in Mexico's juvenile acting scene), it is a more than enjoyable movie for a romantic afternoon.
Road to Mars
Considered by some critics as one of the best works of Mexican director Humberto Hinojosa, Camino a Marte has good production values for an emotional story with a certain sensuality. The chemistry between the acting trio of Tessa Ía, Camila Sodi, and Luis Gerardo Méndez (as a man who claims to be an alien) is captivating and has a touch of strangeness to involve the viewer in this journey of self-discovery. A love story recommended for those who want to vibrate and dream.

Kinds of Kindness
A triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
Love, Divided
From hate to love, there's only one step. Or, in this case, a very thin wall. Love, Divided (a remake of the French film Behind the Wall) is about a game designer (Fernando Guallar) who can only concentrate in absolute silence, which becomes a problem when a singer and pianist (Aitana) who is preparing for an important audition, moves into the adjacent apartment. It's a predictable romantic comedy, and the outcome can be seen from miles away. However, if you enjoy this kind of story, Patricia Font's remake is still charming.
