Sinekatalog’s take

This biopic follows a Mexican comic's rise to stardom and his partnership with a Broadway producer. It's handsomely mounted and affectionate toward its subject, though it follows the standard rise-and-struggle pattern. An agreeable tribute for those curious about a legendary entertainer.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
