Watch Personal Effects For Free

One of my all time favorites.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

One of my friends recommended me to go watch this movie, she had already seen it three times and thought it was fantastic; I thought that it would probably be a good comedy. It was so much more than that.This is a smartly told story about turning 30... and realizing that not all of your dreams come true; that living here, in Mexico City has consequences, but it's also about finding yourself, taking risks, getting loose, and mostly knowing that you are not alone when it comes to feeling lost.The directions in this film is superb, Issa Lopez is really growing as a filmmaker and as a writer, the character development is completely realistic, the cinematography is beautiful. The actors are great, and the way that comedy is developed is just great.If you are looking for a film that has drama, smart comedy, dark irony, a fantastic soundtrack and the truth about life, you should totally watch Efectos Secundarios. It will be worth your money.

You can't give this movie a 10, you just can't. Just like you can't give it a zero or a one or two. A lot of people get on here and let their emotions take over and end up giving too good reviews or i hate this movie reviews. This movie had the potential to be great but some weak performances and a rushed end makes it fall in the mediocrity of many Mexican movies. A i won't even criticize the end but i thought it was pathetic. Its the classic tale of Mexicans that haven't grown up and live in the amazing (right...) city of Mexico city. I am sick of Mexico city and movies. Why not go somewhere else? Guadalajara is pretty nice, Monterrey is better, Juarez is just as violent. But as i was saying. Is this movie worth your time? Yes. Will it blow you away? no, look somewhere else to be blown away. This movie tries to be serious without getting serious. And that's what makes it interesting and quite funny at times.

Why make a film is you don't have anything to say. Films are hard to make I guess so why make a movie about a lot of stupid moments if they are badly done and badly acted, i really disliked this movie is really bad my girlfriend took me to see it and I saw it just because i was going to be with her but this movie suck big time its really the worst thing that has happened to me somebody put a grain in the directors head and in the audience.I don't care if it is Mexican an i am supposed to support what the country makes, i had an argument with my girlfriend saying that this film is the scum of the country, because we are not like that its just trying to brain wash people. we are not that stupid.

After seeing Efectos Secundarios, I realize that Issa Lopez is genuinely a well-read, versatile, sharp director and is ready to make her mark as a pioneer of Mexican and hopefully American cinema. Where will all this talent lead her next? It's nice to see a film that pulls from many different philosophies, while having a commercial, yet universal sensibility as well as one native to the environment of Mexico City. Another thing that this film has is an eclectic music score, and an exceptionally modern look for being produced entirely in Mexico. The audience I saw this film with was on the floor in laughter most of the time. A definite recommend.
