It’s hard to live up to the tv show but I was entertained throughout not great character development tho like in the show. Boobie character done very well his uncle too. Coach is good but hard to live up to Coach in tv show. Crazy how we see at the end most of them stay living in Texas and specifically odessa

The economics are not at all at focus, doesn’t criticize the concept of a house servant  Paints Fermín as the bad guy (not wanting the baby and being part of the guys with the guns during the student massacre) Really well shot and makes audience marvel at the scenery which also takes focus away from the horrible nature of house servant work  It was sad tho when they said it’ll make cleo feel better to go on the family vacation and keep helping them and she’s reluctant but is basically forced to go even after what happened to her baby (also when she cried and opened up that she didn’t want the baby and the mom said we love you so much even tho she’ll always be their servant and nothing more) They make it seem like the student massacre is the reason for them being late to the hospital and the baby dying i don’t think it’s necessary to include this historical contextualization in the film  More so about feminism and the problems with how men treat women than economic problems which i feel like isn’t powerful because of the context

The soundtrack is so good one song I keep replaying. No distinct plot but life in the countryside. It shows how to have fun without many things even a mom and the type of things you can find when you follow your creativity. Also how the dad is never fazed and always encouraging kids interests is model for parents watching. The encouraging of large emotions from crying to laughing to anxiety. The Totoro scenes and the cat bus are so iconic too
