Fantastic!
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The film should have been in Spanish with subtitles. It was impossible to follow the dialogue.
Never watched a movie from this side of the story.. but its in English.
Narcos seasons 1 and 2 have already captured the story of Pablo Escobar fantastically. In Narcos, Wagner Moura portraits Escobar in such a convincing way that to me he is now Pablo Escobar. Watching a quality actor like Bardem doesn't change the fact that even a movie edition of Narcos would easily be a better movie.
A journalist strikes up a romantic relationship with notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. Despite the alright perfomances from both Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem 'Loving Pablo' is a really dull and boring biography that pretty much says the exact same things for the same person that other films have said better or portrayed. Plus the running time could have been shorter in my opinion as well since there's lots of boring conversations with the characters and basically lots of dull dialogue as a whole. I would recommend 'Blow' or 'American Made' even tho Escobar has a small role they tell a better and more focused story plus much better perfomances from the cast as well. (4/10)
