Featured review
Love, family and belly dancing
"Seres queridos" is a very good comedy that mixes the necessary ingredients: love, humor, misunderstandings and a little mystery. The basic plot (Jewish girl and Palestinian boy go to girl's home to meet her family) soon turns to quirkier subplots that make the viewer not only amused, but also intrigued and moved.
Directors Pelegri and Harari have assembled a great cast, starting from leading man Guillermo Toledo to supporting players such as María Botto and Fernando Ramallo. Toledo had previously proved his ability as a comedian, but this time he proves he can carry a movie too. Botto is unforgettable as the belly-dancer sister, and her dance scene in a meeting room will surely the most remembered for years to come.
Although it partially deals with the tragic conflict between the Jewish and Palestinians in Israel, this sweet comedy gives the viewer the impression that such conflicts can be solved with the help of love, which is quite a relief. However, the eventual result of "Seres queridos" is that it lacks a little more wit so as to be really great, but it still remains as a very good watch.
Overall rating: 7/10
