One of my favorite films of the festival so far. A beautifully told story.
I loved this movie... Very touching, and well told. If you missed this one, find a way to see it. It's that good.
I was a little shocked by the fact that there were only about 3 scenes with the boyita, all about a minute long. The writeup and title credits seemed to focus on it, while if I had not read about it, I would have probably missed it's significance entirely.
I do understand not mentioning the actual topic of the movie, but I think it may have missed a bigger audience because of it.
This one was 1 of my favorites!
It was interesting how the film was kind of being coy about what was wrong with Marco but when it's finally revealed I was like..Ohhhhh....he's intersexed....
You know, I don't think I ever saw a film that dealt with that topic before, ever.
So, thank you Argentina. I am crying for you, but they're tears of joy :)

The beauty, the power ...
From the ballots:
The cinematography and music were beautiful. The dialogue was strong, but even more was said without words. An enjoyable film. Some scenes were very graphic for my party, but that's life down on the farm.
From the ballots:
Wonderful story. Everything came together in the end which was the best possible with the circumstances. The actors were amazing. I normally hate subtitles but the movie was such that I did not mind at all. The characters were all realistically and wonderfully portrayed. Overall amazing and incredible.

Beautiful story!
Beautiful film!

Felt very realistic, or as real as I can imagine life in an Argentine ranch. What phenomenal performances from very young actors!

Excellent. A very positive film.
From the ballots:
A lovely movie with sensitive portrayal of a very difficult subject. I liked the character, Jorgelina, a great deal.
From the ballots:
Slow-paced in spots. What did the Boyita have to do with anything?
Michael's response:
For you and Woody, I really think "boyita" is more like a play on words instead of just a reference to the trailer. In Spanish, they add "ito" and "ita" to refer to the diminutive form. "boy" + the female "ita" could very well refer to Mario's sexuality and this being the summer that everything comes out in the open could be his last as a "boyita" as changes are in his horizon.
From the ballots:
Very sensitively portrayed.
From the ballots:
It moved very slowly for my taste, but it was still a well-made film. His struggle and innocence are touching.
