Cry Now (2014)
8/10
Smile later
5 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This is a Latino love story that takes place in L.A. The title is explained in the opening monologue as artist/delivery boy Vincent Esquivel (Miguel Angel Caballero) opposes the idea of "smile now, cry later." If you feel it, do it and so goes the film. Vincent meets Luzy (Iliana Carter) a tattoo artist. There was a mutual attraction. However, this isn't a jump right into bed love story. It is slow developing. Luzy has a police officer boyfriend Pete (Rick Quintero) who she owes $20,000 and Vincent has an open relationship with the equally pretty Sophia (Mina Olivera). Neither partner is eager to end their relationship to someone they see as inferior to themselves. But as Keira Knightley once said in a movie (Collateral Beauty) "We don't get to choose who we love." The film centers mostly on Vincent, and not her feelings which is a change for a film that resembles a "chick flick." The film was beautifully done and might be good for date night fodder, but was not something you will remember for very long.

Guide: F-word. Brief Sex. No nudity.
