Īdding to our woes is the lighting or the lack of it. We watch the epic love story with the distant interest that we may give to documentary where the narrator is unable to pull us into what must have been a life-defining experience.

But the constantly restless camera does nothing to build our faith in the central relationship. It may define the state of the Ivan-Gerardo relationship. Compounding its uneasy marriage of fact and fiction is the hand-held quivering camera. The film based on the love story is sadly none of the above. As we go back and forth into the love story with two sets of actors(rather one set of actors and their real-life counterparts), the narrative rapidly losses its cohesiveness slipping off the edges then scampering back to the surface because …well…the love story itself is so poignant and powerful. The same is true of the love of Ivan’s life Gerardo(Christian Vazquez). Then in the intermittent flashbacks the actor playing Ivan takes over. We are led into Ivan’s love story by the real-life Ivan. Ivan(Armando Espitia) is the one hiding in the closet because he has plenty to lose: mainly the right to meet his son and of course societal approbation ,a big thing during the times when the film begins(not sure when, because the director chooses uncertainty in every factor related to the epic romance).

Like all great and cheesy same-sex love stories I Carry You With Me has one partner out of the closet and the other in it. Instead it gets a director who turns a panoramic romance sweeping into several decades and two countries, into a lean lithe exasperatingly confusing story of sexual identity. She brings her docu-sensibilities into a story that needed a David Lean’s vision. But I am afraid the execution of the real-life love story is far from epic.ĭirector Heidi Ewing comes from documentary filmmaking. I really wanted to like this hugely lauded Mexican film about two men who hide their mutual love for decades.
