Very Cool!!!

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

When Leon finds Ivana's cell phone, he calls her to return it... but there's catch: she has to meet him for dinner, or an ice cream, or a coffee to get it back. She meets him at a cafe, and is surprised to see that he is quite short. Guillermo Francella and Julieta Diaz star in this study of human relationships. Leon clearly has money, and lives a very exciting life, but Ivana doesn't know if she is ready for that right now. As we know, she owns a law firm with her ex-husband, and they have an ongoing business relationship. She seems to be okay with Leon's short-height, but is somehow bothered when others notice it, or talk about it. Quite well done. Good supporting cast, including Francella's actual son, who also plays his son in the film. Apparently they work together quite frequently. Written and directed by Marcos Carnevale. Just one of many of his projects. It appears he also does a lot of television. This one is showing on netflix. Fun. Tackles some serious issues but has a sense of humor.

This was one of those movies that - kept me wanting to see what the next scene would be like. I laughed a lot wanted to fall 'in Love' after watching this movie. I'm searching for my love right now after watching this movie. I want to be in that same kind of Love -it's was awesome and makes you really happy Definitely 10+, Acting was on point- Actors and actresses all did great. I mean this was a really Great movie and this would seal the whole deal for you if you watch it with your significant other with some pop corn and drinks :))This was one of those movies that - kept me wanting to see what the next scene would be like.

I don't know much of Argentine films, but I watched this on Netflix this evening and was charmed. It took a story that has been told before, with different circumstances, and drew me in right away. This is because of the two leads, Guillermo Francella and Julieta Diaz. I've never heard of either actor, but looking at their IMDb profiles, they are famous in their home country.Mr. Francella's personality is infectious, plus being very attractive, especially his eyes and wonderful smile. Ms. Diaz is pretty in a quiet and very natural way. That is so refreshing to see. Her character is in turmoil with what's going on in her life and then she meets another soul that's in turmoil as well, but he handles differently.A must see for rom-com fans. Just something a little different.

"All of a sudden you turned into a Snow White."Corazon de Leon, which translated in English means Heart of a Lion, is a very funny romantic comedy that also delivers an important message about social prejudice. Yes, it is formulaic and is full of clichés, but at the same time it has a lot of heart and works thanks to two great performances from Guillermo Francella and Julieta Diaz. Francella had a memorable role in the Oscar winning The Secret in Their Eyes, and once again he stands out in this comedy. Julieta Diaz, however had an even more difficult role because she was the conflicted character who had to walk a fine line between remaining likable to the audience while at the same time struggling with her inner self and getting past any prejudice she could have. It would've been very easy to dislike a character like this, but Julieta Diaz handles it with grace and somehow she remains a likable character and shares an excellent chemistry with Francella. The theme of social prejudice has been handled before in many films, but I don't know if it has been done better than in this film. Between all the laughs and funny moments there are also some very serious and touching moments dealing with this inner conflict of accepting someone for who they are on the inside. The Farrelly brothers dealt with it in Shallow Hal, but without the same effect that Corazon de Leon has. This time the social prejudice has to do with height, since Diaz's character falls for a man who is only 4 and a half feet tall. Behind all the laughs and funny gags there is a serious underlying tone about how ridiculous our social norms are. This prejudice exists and is very alive in all of us, despite us not realizing it. The film works not only in making the audience laugh but in making us think about the ridiculous standards we have made up as a society in what we consider as normal.Ivana Cornejo (Julieta Diaz) is a lawyer who shares a law firm with her associate Diego (Mauricio Dayub) who also happened to be her ex husband. They've been separated for the last 3 years. One night she receives a phone call from a man named Leon (Guillermo Francella) who has found her lost cell phone (which she actually tossed in a park after a heated discussion with her ex over the phone) and is offering to return it to her. The two have a very interesting conversation considering Leon has a great personality and is very charming. The two agree to meet each other the next day and when they do, Ivana is surprised to see that Leon is actually a dwarf. Her shock is apparent and Leon understand, but somehow he convinces her to go on a date with her. What Leon lacks in height, he has in personality. He seems to be the perfect man, and Ivana loves being around him, but she also feels conflicted because of the way people look at them in public. As they begin to grow closer and closer, she also realizes she has some prejudice towards him as she tries to keep him away from her circle of friends. This conflict is the heart of the story since the two seem to be perfect for each other, the problem being trying to overcome her prejudice.If it weren't for all the clichés in this film, this could've been much better, but I still think it stands out as a fun comedy from Argentina. I would definitely recommend this for the great performances and sincere direction from Marcos Carnevale who wasn't afraid to get dramatic and serious when he had to. In that sense it works much better than other comedies that try to send a positive message about social prejudice. The screenplay worked well with very strong characters and a good supporting cast including Guillermo Francella's son, Nicolas playing the same role in the film, Jorgelina Aruzzi playing Ivana's secretary, and Nora Carpena playing her mother. I was laughing out loud during several scenes in this film, and despite knowing where the film was heading I still had a fun time. One may argue that Francella's character was one dimensional in the sense that he didn't have any flaws and was perfect, but I think it was necessary in a film like this focusing on the prejudice we have towards others only based on their physical appearance. The conflict was basically based on this issue, because everything else about this person was flawless.
