I saw Carmen the other night, after I spent half the week thinking about how cool it would be to see it on Friday at its Miami premier. And it was cool. Really good show. I left with a big smile on my face, a bounce in my step, and an easy laugh.
Paul Mescal was pretty phenomenal. Melissa Berrera, too. She is low-key a great actress. It was a pleasure to viewing them on-screen together.
An immigration story, this telling of Carmen hit where it needed to. As Title 42 ends this month, and more and more foreigners attempt to emigrate via the US Southern border, creating stress and problems here, a romance about a beautiful woman coming in brought back the positivity that this era needs.
It truly is a musical, but not in an unattractive way. It’s not awkward like singing in the rain. It’s cool like the Bands Will Make Her Dance music video.
Good color palette. If you like dance, this is a solid bet. Or if you like Paul Mescal or Melissa Berrera.
Who knows? Maybe I’ll ditch Miami and head for the southern border so I can quench this thirst trap. Get hitched with one of these Nicas or someone.
