De Lo Mio (2019)

De Lo Mio: Directed by Diana Peralta. With Sasha Merci, Darlene Demorizi, Héctor Aníbal, Laura Peralta. Two “ride or die” sisters raised in NYC reunite with their estranged brother in the Dominican Republic to clean out their late father’s childhood home. The siblings laugh, brawl, and face their demons as they come to terms with letting go of their last connection to their motherland.

“This movie had a lot of potential because of the theme, even though itu0026#39;s a theme thatu0026#39;s been used in many films before. Unfortunately, the script is poor and padded with far too much improvised dialog. In addition, the long brooding shots of mango trees and other vegetation, and patches of silence really add little to the story. A more thoughtful script with meaningful dialog might have made a world of difference in engaging and involving viewers.”
