A Tale of Music, Family, and Heart - Weeping for Joy

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2018)

I haven't posted a review in some time, but I had to come back to imdb just to share how great this movie is.
Imagine an old shining guitar almost buried in bright golden marigold petals. That is this story, deeply surrounded by the rich culture of Mexico, it's Dia de Muertos, and the traditions of remembering our families throughout our lives and generations.
Another reviewer said that "you can't trust anyone who did not get emotional over this movie", and while I won't go that far, I can't see how anyone could not be moved by this story with it's beautiful arcs of familial love, loss, pride, rebellion, hope, and despair. Personally, I wept at the climactic close - a universal rush of gut-wrenching sadness and joy - extremely powerful and meaningful.
See this with your family and cry together and feel love together at this magnificent art.
