Because of the movie, my heart goes out to Sansón and his relatives I am unable to avoid the feeling that Rodrigo profited from their suffering for this film. Sansón and his family voiced their dissatisfaction with their roles in the film and that caused me to believe that this film could have been done in another manner. It evoked painful recollections for them, and they do not appear to want to continue watching the video after a certain point.

“I really enjoyed the continual use of Spanish throughout the film; there is something about hearing and witnessing and experiencing people speaking their mother tongue that even if the audience is not Spanish speaking, audiences can feel comforted by the roundness, warmth, and expressiveness of the language – to be shaken up by the reality of the fragmented and confuse world in which one benevolent action can flip one’s life in a fatefully wrong direction.”
