What I Don't Know Whether to Slit My Wrists or Leave Them Long Is About
Manolo Caro's feature directing debut adapts his own stage play, a genuine box office phenomenon in Mexico, into his first film. Two couples sharing an apartment building in the Polanco district, Nora and Aarón, whose marriage is cracking under infidelity, and Julia and Lucas, who stay outwardly married to hide Lucas's homosexuality, have their lives upended when Félix, a retired footballer sunk into depression after losing his job and his girlfriend, moves in next door. The film opens with two gunshots before rewinding eight months to trace how things got there. It won Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Score at Mexico's Diosas de Plata awards, and while critics stopped short of calling it award caliber or especially sharp, they described it as a genuinely well liked crowd pleaser, with a visual touch in places that recalls Almodóvar. Who it's for: Fans of Latin American ensemble relationship comedies who don't mind theatrical, larger than life characters. Who it's not for: Viewers wanting understated, naturalistic dialogue, since the film's stage origins show through in its heightened style.
