Arrancame La Vida

Very good movie, with a lot of history of how things were in "those" days with families trying to get out of poverty and the rampant corruption in all the the spheres of goverment in Latin American countries. A little intense in some parts and strong sexual content , not to watch with kids. Very well executed scenes of that era, even "real" characters if those times were introduced in the movies, like Toña la Negra singing the movie title song. Saw the main character , the other day in "Like Water for Chocolate" , she is amazing and beautiful , dont know how Hollywood has not discovered her ! would make a great Tom Cruise or James Bond chic partner. Very interesting movie from an historical point of view. Another must see.

Great film all the way. Has the feeling of The Godfather in scope and reach. Acting is superb, Music is fantastic, story-captivating and perfectly suited for todays tabloids in America. Great ending and of course the locale and time period makes it impossible to turn away from watching the TV. This movie is in Spanish with English subtitles unavailable. You must understand Spanish to watch. Lets hope Hollywodd doesnt get ahold of this one and ruin it. Tom Cruise as the General-Oh no please!!!!! Tear This Heart Out is a magnificent film.

Very well produced movie. My mother was working in one of the major newspapers in Mexico City and she knew the real person who was the basis for the character in the movie and this was a reason to buy this movie, however, is one of the best produced in Mexico.

You can watch this on YouTube for free. CD is little overpriced!

Angela Mastretta's novel has been brought to the screen in this truly excellent film. The title comes from a song popular in the 30s or 40s. In fact, throughout the book and the movie,songs of the period, in recordings by artists who first made them popular, reflect the heroine's growth. I highly recommend this film and, to those who read Spanish, the novel of the same title.

This is one of those period movies that has great production architecture. The story starts out slow but, soon, it begins to envelope you! The actors are all top notch and, the time and wardrobe look authentic.

I enjoy watching Ana Claudia Talancon in this story about her life married to a rutless man, much older than her who helped her leave her little life behind and become a powerful force in the life of her ambitious political husband.... that is until she encounters a musician closed to her age who awakens her principles and intimate life... which would carry the ultimate price for one of them. Worth seeing.

My wife had been waiting for a long time for this movie. It was on Netflix and then removed. She absolutely loves this movie. Unfortunately, the subtitles are only in Spanish and Portuguese, no English...
