Not every movie with minorities needs to be an encyclopedia edition of a specific culture.
It's funny how some of the people who complain don't even share Hispanic or Latin heritage and let their bias show.
Bravo to Lifetime for making a commitment to be a network that employs a diverse casts and champions inclusion! Lord knows our nation needs to see our stories, our children need to see themselves in people who look like them, and our actors need the platform and the opportunities.
I celebrate and support them all! ššš
This story not only resonated with me because of the culture but, after losing my mother four years ago, I appreciated the honest and beautiful way in which the family's (especially the daughter's) grief was shown. I also appreciate the way important values in our Hispanic/Latin culture like the importance of family, kindness and service to others, hard work, honesty, amongst others are displayed throughout the story. It even had room to show us to believe in ourselves and our talents.
Mario LĆ³pez is very natural and believable, and after watching her in Lucifer, I was thrilled to see Aimee GarcĆa in such an amazing role, and EfraĆn Figueroa reminded me of my Dad, (navigating life as a widower while still loving his family, and his family loving and supporting him).
For those complaining about the plot, Hallmark makes a living of repeating story lines, usually putting actors in rolls with similar themes, and you've been supporting them for years!
Why can't Lifetime do a familiar story line with a twist? Their called universal themes for a reason, many can relate, and it happens to almost everyone in different ways.
I'm very pleased with this beautiful movie, and others done this season, which show classy, and culturally inclusive stories that celebrate family and love in all its forms.
Please continue to make beautiful movies and to be a network that celebrates diversity Lifetime!
BRAVO! ššššš
