Reel Talk:
It's been too long since we've seen a film so luscious that it practically whisks you away to another time, another place. The animated film (and Oscar nominee for best animated feature), Chico & Rita does just that.
Though its stunning artistic achievement by accomplished Spanish designer Javier Mariscal has every look of an animated movie, the rich storyline and passionate romantic element give off the emotion of a live action adult film (worthy of standing next to any great adult film).
James Jay Edwards of FilmFracture writes: "Nominated for best animated feature at the 2012 Academy Awards, Chico & Rita works much better as a love story than the run-of-the-mill Hollywood romances because of the tragic flaws in the characters."
