As I don't speek a word of Spanish,and I agree it was hard at the beginning to switch between reading the subtitles and the english speaking dialogs, but I think it added a lot about the bicultural aspect of the movie. I loved that in this movie Mexican are not only described as loud poor people. Clara is a well educated woman struggling with her feelings. The storyline is very well balanced and I easily got attached by all the characters. This movie was really enjoyable.
