Jul 1 2010 N/A 1h 32m
Comedy, Drama, Musical

Miss Tacuarembó is a unique mixture of drama, comedy, musical with touches of parody and nostalgia which for its beautiful narration will attract many open-minded viewers not only in Latin American world. The story of Natalia, the main hero, and her life's struggles is shown in different three eras of her life.

Plot

I saw this movie with no expectations, assuming it would be awful since it got little press around here, but to my surprise I enjoyed it more than most films made lately in Uruguay. It's a little bizarre and surreal, in a low budget way, but that only adds to the picturesque of it.This movie will be particularly funny to those who've grown up in Uruguay in the 80's since it's full of cultural references, like the soap opera it mentions, and the heretic treatment catholicism gets. The ending is a little weak, and could have been made better, like so many things in this movie, but overall is an enjoyable tribute to growing up in a little town in this part of the world.
