Each movement flows naturally because of its unique theater like setting. But the story disintegrated and loses its appeal on the second half. The main character, Juanita, became spiteful, she pushes those people who love and care for her but wonders why her life turn out wrong. Her daughter tried to sell her redeeming qualities by the end of the film but the earlier scenes doesn't justify her behavior because there's only her selfishness and pride that ruled her last days for her to be heroic.
