There are things to like about <em>'Porcelain Horse'</em>, yet all in all I can't really say I enjoyed viewing it. The level of acting is good, Victor Arauz, Leovanna Orlandini and Francisco Savinovich are all plus points for this 2012 flick. I generally approve of how the story is portrayed. However, I never truly cared for the characters and was never all that invested in them - like 'that scene' is done well, but simply didn't hit in any sort of real way. The characters aren't exactly likeable, which probably doesn't help things. Though I am totally cool with watching troubled characters, the problem is when they aren't all that interesting or there is no reason to root for them - which is pretty much the case here. All things considered, not a good or bad film. Just extremely average, for me anyway.
