agree it\u2019s frustrating that these kinds of productions (which a lot of the time aren\u2019t good) are the ones that usually get wide releases in Mexico and get picked up by international

I\u2019ve made a list of a few films I like that may not be exactly heart-warming or uplifting but that reflect the human experience through different narratives and styles, avoiding the extremes of
