Movie Haiku:Gloria, now in her 50s, has grown children & an ex-husband, a job but no career. When she meets Rudolfo, she hopes for love in her life, but she ultimately rejects him. Garcia gives a terrific central performance but the plot just felt like an unfocused kitchen sink of middle age woes with some quirks (like dancing skeletons) & unearned smirks. After all the hype, we left disappointed.
