A young Mexican ballet dancer [Isaac Hernández] travels illegally to San Francisco to move in with the millionaire's daughter [Jessica Chastain] who funded his education. She not only welcomes him with open arms, but when it turns out she does not want to engage in public hand-holding, the relationship comes to a temporary end. That is the beginning of a power struggle between two opportunists (she wants sex with an attractive young man; he wants a residence permit) without any tension. Ballet and sex scenes provide the highlights (!) in this timid, pseudo-romantic nonsense.

Dreams.

Jessica Chastain once again delivers a particularly strong performance as the not-exactly-amiable Jennifer McCarty, an oligarch's daughter tasked by her father—richer in money than in human emotions—within the task of doing something for a good cause. Opposite her is Fernando Rodriguez, a talented Mexican dancer who dreams of a career outside Mexico and could certainly use a stepping stone. Beautifully played by Isaac Hernández—who is a real dancer as well as an actor—which makes the somewhat sparse scenes in which he gets to showcase this pleasantly believable. Together they make a very fine couple; the numerous erotic scenes do not exactly hurt my eyes.

But naturally, director Franco seeks more than just pretty shots of a bunch of naked people making out. Step by step, he exposes the underlying motives and personalities, and the picture that emerges is decidedly less flattering. Masterfully paced, the facade that conceals what the American Dream truly entails, and what the love between benefactress and recipient really consists of, crumbles piece by piece. Disillusioning, but very powerfully told and acted.

A decent film about a woman in a relationship with a younger, illegal immigrant. The characters are quite distant (partly due to the sparse dialogue). However, the unbalanced dynamic between the two characters does yield a few good scenes (including the ending, even though it comes quite suddenly). Jessica Chastain never disappoints, and she does not here either.
