This is not a rating for the book

I have not read it, it is a rating for the movie, which must be a stand alone work of art and if it needs a book or an external manual to comprehend, then this is not a good sign.Overall it is a mediocre movie. It starts very nicely with great cinematography and a successful use of magical realism on screen. In the beginning it is like a mystery film, of a man lost in a place full of sad ghosts that exist only as a metaphor. But there is also another storyline, that of the past which is realistic.The problem, as I see it, is that the heavy use of metaphor (which becomes increasingly difficult to follow, especially if you are not a native Mexican who has also read the book) interchanged with a myriad of not very interesting backstories make the movie heavier in the second half and rather boring in the end. Also it seems to forget to close the first storyline (?).

Good movie

I live in Small city from the north of Mexico and I feel really related to this movie. My grand mother told me a few story's about our ancestries and events that happened time ago on our city. And I can tell you that the people in Mexico it really acted like that. I loved this movie I really recommend to watch!!!. Im going to tell you one of my grandmother story "one time in my city a guy wearing a charro suit was walked around the streets until he find the guy that he was looking for and he just shot him right in the chest and killed him, then he walked away disappearing in the dry river while the police and people were looking for him,but no one never knew who he was or why he kill the guy from my town.

Struggles to captivate without prior knowledge of the Novel

First of all, I have not read the book and therefore cannot judge whether this was a good adaptation or not. However, based on what I have read here on IMDb, most people who have read the book seem to think it was a faithful adaptation that stayed true to its source material.I watched the movie without any prior knowledge of the story or who Pedro Páramo was. I saw it on Netflix, and since it is labeled as horror (my favorite genre), I thought I would give it a try.The narrative intertwines two primary storylines set in the ghostly town of Comala. The first follows a young man searching for his estranged father, whose name is Pedro Páramo. The second storyline delves into Pedro Páramo's life, portraying him as a powerful yet tyrannical landowner, showing what his life was like and how it affected the town.The movie was beautifully filmed and looked stunning overall, which makes sense because the director, Rodrigo Prieto, is a successful cinematographer who worked on movies like Brokeback Mountain and The Wolf of Wall Street. The settings effectively capture the time period and make a believable impression. The acting from the main cast was solid, though some of the side characters' performances felt shaky at times-though not so bad as to disrupt the narrative.The premise itself sounds interesting; however, I have to say that, sadly, this movie was a big borefest overall. If you have read the novel, you might think otherwise and find much to enjoy during your watch. For me, though, the story was not captivating, and the movie felt like it dragged. The runtime of over two hours didn't help, as it made the movie feel even longer. That's not a good sign, as it shows I didn't find much entertainment value during my viewing.Pedro Páramo and many of the other characters were not likable, which made it hard to care about what happened to them. As a result, I wasn't able to form an emotional connection with any of the characters. The movie is very slow-paced and sophisticated, but overall, it felt dull.For those who have read the novel, I think this movie might be worth a watch. However, if you're not familiar with the source material, you may find it hard to stay engaged and feel the movie drags.
