Movie Reviews of The Magic Hour (Entre la Tarde y la Noche)
Movie Review: magic as escape
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie, made in 1999, could have been a precursor to Pans's Labyrinth for all its similarities: a child uses her imagination as the only escape from brutality; someone she loves abandons her, someone is presumed guilty for an offence he did not commit, the child keeps a secret to protect an adult, and at the end everything makes more sense.
My version is from desert mountain media and the subtitles were great.
I thought the story was compelling, the actors were good, the "magic" made sense (rather than just functioning as an add-on), the photography was great, and the peek into Mexican culture was interesting to me (I am a gringuita). My only criticism is that the part in the beginning (at the hotel) didn't seem to me to fit into the overall movie as well as it could have, but it was really a relatively minor flaw, and it may not even be a flaw to others. I'm glad I bought it.
