Cicatrices is definitely a different Mexican movie... With a low budget production... as it also shows in the script and the story guideline, Cicatrices could have been improved. However, I am not saying that it is great or perfect but it has more positive features than negative ones.
Fist of all, it tries to deal with Mexican common problems such as domestic violence, divorce...but it goes deeper into personal and spiritual growth with a Christian focus.
Nevertheless, even if you are not Christian it could still make you think. At the end, I liked the main characters performance and sometimes I felt their emotions and even cried.
I went to see the movie with my parents and when we left the theater, we had a nice conversation about its topics which later on, turned into us... it made us reflect about our personal lives and troubles and made us think in possible solutions.
It gave us much more than just entertainment for 2 hours.
