  • Summary: With an "Almodovarian" twist and the flamboyance of "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," director Ramón Salazar's 20 Centimeters tells the story of Marieta (Mónica Cervera) a narcoleptic, transsexual who longs to get rid of 8 inches (20 centimeters) of equipment that separateses her from being the glamorous woman she dreams to be.

    Monica Cervera's fearless performance as the homely Marieta, whose movie-made dreams of glamour will never come true, is mesmerizing.

    A brash, vivacious concoction of dark comedy, light drama and musical performance.

    With a mug like hers Cervera must have realized this was her big chance to star in a musical, and she gives a dazzling performance.

    The musical numbers are dreadful and the jokes barely register, but more disappointing is how rote the exploration of the transgender dilemma is.

    I thought this movie was extremely human in every sense -- funny, tragic, sweet, mean, sloppy -- all the while gorgeously shot. The musical numbers felt fresh and alive. I loved this!… Expand

    I saw this movie at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) and I, along with the 200 or 300 other people present, really enjoyed it. It's over the top and not incredibly deep, but it is different. It is raunchy, it is silly, it is depressing..it is infinetly memorable. This is the sort of movie that deserves a cult following.… Expand
