Summary
RATING: Not Rated
Starring Fernando Becerril, Juan Pablo Castaneda, Diana Garcia, Martha Claudia Moreno, Miriana Moro, and Emilio Valdés
Two interlaced stories unfold over the course of the same long, hot day in a resort town of Acapulco. The first involves Fernanda, who is forced to deal with the sudden emergence of her ex-lover. Her current boyfriend must compete with the intense sexual tension that Fernanda and her ex-love share. The second story concerns Jamie, an office worker with hidden indiscretions, attempting suicide in a beachfront hotel until a precocious and equally dishonest teenage girl disrupts his plans.

Village Voice Jim Ridley
"Amores Perros" is a yappy whelp compared to this striking degrees-of-separation drama by Mexican writer-director Gerardo Naranjo.
Read Full Review >New York Post V.A. Musetto
You want to hate his characters? Go ahead. You want to feel sympathy for them? That's OK too. In either case, you'll be shaken by Drama/Mex.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Staff (Not credited)
In many ways, Drama/Mex is a typical Iñárritu-style mélange of souls in crisis, bouncing off each other in unexpected ways.
Read Full Review >Variety Jay Weissberg
An unerring compositional eye plus firm control of an inventive structure keep Drama/Mex well within the attention span, even when the script wanders without seeming to know why.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir
Gerardo Naranjo's deliriously trashy Drama/Mex may not do much to burnish the international prestige of Mexican cinema, but it's an entertaining blend of obvious influences, from softcore cable-TV porn to Tarantino to "Less Than Zero" and "Leaving Las Vegas."
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Visually arresting but thematically uneven, Gerardo Naranjo's fictional snapshot of a gritty Mexican beach is simply too desperate to shock us.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Sam Adams
Skipping from one story to another and scrambling their relative chronologies, Drama/Mex presents a flashy package, but that only reveals the paucity of its ideas.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Manohla Dargis
Drama/Mex means to say something about its country of origin, though it’s hard to know exactly what.
