I had an amazing time watching this movie. It's witty, funny and very easy to watch. The death of a beloved family member is always a tough experience and can even be traumatic, nontheless, this movie approaches it as the reignition of life, the possibility to heal old wounds, find out new realities and get closer to family members living the same experience. Instead of getting stuck in the complexities of suffering and seeing death as a terminal experience in the lives of everyone around, how about seeing it as something deeply unfortunate, but natural.

This movie shows a sneek peek into mexican culture and the things that are valued most: family and tradition.

Mexican idiosincrasy laughs in the face of tragedy. It's about not taking everything too seriously, it's about approaching life light heartedly and openly, accepting the things that are and trying to change the things that can be changed. It's about solving differences through confrontation and quality time, understanding and acceptance. Family conflicts can take both the best and the worst out of us.

We need comedy, we need to laugh a bit about life's hardships and take the good out of what we can.

Basically this movie turned me into a vegan overnight. I could never bare to finance others into the level of cruelty inflicted to innocent beings for the sole reason of tasty food (which is not tasty to me anymore after eating vegan for 4 years). This movie is a real life horror story. The worst I've seen but also the best, because ignorance hurts, it hurts a lot and it feels great to redeem ourselves. Ignorance causes pain and cruelty in our planet and it's time for us to realize it, to educate ourselves and choose. We place our vote into the world with every coin we spend.

This movie is truly hard to watch, you'll cry a lot if you happen to be sensitive or not at all. It's eye opening not only as a human person but as an Earthling.

Interestingly it doesn't leave you with a bad taste of mouth but on the contrary, full of hope and action. This movie calls for action.

I thank the brave cameramen and camerawomen who shot this documentary, as well as everyone involved in its making.

A must watch.
