Dividing Bar

Great performances and strong script with a few funny moments. The poster and tagline give the impression this is a sort of romantic comedy with Valentin acting as "Cupid," but that's not really the case until the very end. The film is more about a child recognizing and eventually accepting the imperfections of the adults in his life. Disagree with the subtitle comments, I didn't have any issue following along.

Way too sappy. And sap isn't bad every now and then.

Lovely performance by Rodrigo Noya but the script is too wordy which mars the enjoyment of the film particularly for those watching subtitled versions.
