Raw and good.,

This review is from: La Vendedora De Rosas (DVD)
Don't miss it... Few movies can compare to this tour de force by the colombian cineast... I don't think there is a movie out there where the violence is as close to real life as in this movie... The real life in the ghetto's of colombia... You won't forget it soon...

the most gheto movie and best street kid movie,
By "jogecalma" (miami, florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Vendedora De Rosas (DVD)
la vendedora de rosas is a gangster street kid movie. It is about the real gheto if you think east L.A or the bronx is gheto it is nothing compared to the gheto in colombia the gheto in colombia means you have nowere to live and you dont care if you see someone get killed couse its nothing new so if you think your gheto i dare you to go to the gheto in colombia. This is a sad movie but its the truth about how the gheto in colombia is. If you seen blood in blood out you should see what real gangsta movie is. In colombia at least 6-7 people die every day it is noting new to see someone die. I recomend this movie

Disturbing,
By GyroPyro - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: La Vendedora De Rosas (DVD)
This is an unbelievable film. "...Rosas" is graphic and truly disturbing as it captures the squalid life of the gamin in Medellín, Colombia. The children lead a life of sex, drugs, and prostitution without compunction. They are the sad result of broken homes. The film is a commentary on how the war on drugs has lead to the neglect of Colombia's poor. The irony of it all, the children are not hooked on cocaine but glue. They sniff the stuff out of paper bags, slowly depleting their young brain cells every time they use it. A very disturbing, yet enlightening, film. It brings awareness to a growing problem in Colombia and questions the results of the Colombian government having to concentrate its efforts fighting the drug cartels and guerrilla insurgents rather than concentrating its efforts rehabilitating the children who will surely wind up contributing to the drug-insurgency problem in the future. The kids in the film did a wonderful job in their performance, really good acting, and the directing was very sharp, weaving the different subplots seamlessly without having to clumsily intersect them. The film is in a sense a docudrama. Even though the film is not as effective as "Children of God," the film does succeed in making the viewer aware that there is more to the troubles in Colombia besides the things your read about in the New York Times.

A True Masterpiece of Latin American Cinema,
By Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: La Vendedora De Rosas (DVD)
This is a heart-wrenching film about children in poverty, focusing on a girl who sells flowers to survive. It is a "feminine" or feminist (perhaps) counterpart to the same director (Victor Gaviria)'s earlier film, "Rodrigo D: No Future" and one should ideally watch both. I was enormously moved when I saw this film for the first time. An important predecessor for other neo-realist Colombian films such as "Our Lady of the Assassins" and "Maria Full of Grace."

Eye Opener,
By Wendy M. Iglesias "MuneQuita" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: La Vendedora De Rosas (DVD)
This movie is a must see.. it definitely shows the effects that children with poor family structure can easily be veered into negative influences like drugs, prostitution, homelessness etc.. in search for a loving relationship or just some attention.. I would definitely recommend parents show this movie to adolescents as an eyeopener...Both can learn from the movie..
