For those who don't know Gloria Trevi, she's one of the most famous singers in Mexico since her debut in 1989. But this character -a kind of open-minded crazy singer-, has always been surrounded by controversy.
This movie, written by a well-known Mexican journalist and writer, Sabina Berman, has two main virtues:
1. It portraits Gloria Trevi and Sergio Andrade (the two main characters) perfectly. The leading actress, Sofia Espinosa performs Trevi's songs, dances and acts just as the Gloria Trevi the audience knows.
2. It is as objective as possible. It tries to get the audience to reach their own conclusions.
Writer Sabina Berman has said she took Gloria Trevi's version but also, most of the rest of the people involved versions and public facts. In the end, she wrote a story which feels authentic and portrays not only one of the most famous scandals in Mexican show-business, but also, the way television power uses some stars to their own benefit.
On the other hand, it lacks some big-budget resources that could bring this movie to the next level, but besides this, it's entertaining, dramatic and well-portrayed.
