Hurricane Season Review: Whirlwind of Disappointment
The ninety-minute film Hurricane Season tries to tell a complicated story but ultimately fails because of a lot of unlikable characters, needless fluff, and an incredibly simple and cliched topic.
Hurricane Season Review
The narrative begins with a group of youngsters discovering the dead corpse of "the Witch," the town's legendary figure who is said to have magical abilities. Yesenia switches the story's point of view to several local inhabitants and presents their accounts after reporting her cousin Luismi for the crime.
Unfortunately, the murder itself is not given much attention in the story—it is only completely disclosed in the final ten minutes. Despite the attempts to set the tone, the voyage is boring and full of moments that should have been cut.
Hurricane Season, which was filmed in a quasi-documentary format, repeatedly repeats themes of sexism and homophobia through lengthy views of insignificant things and extreme close-ups of people. The entire movie culminates with a cliched resolution that wraps up character storylines.

Hurricane Season Rating, Reviews and Director
Director: Elisa Miller
Writers: Daniela Gómez, Fernanda Melchor and Elisa Miller
Running Time: 90 Mins
IMDb Rating: 5.7/10
Rotten Tomatoes Score: Audience Score 78%
The characters in the movie are its worst flaw. The characters are terribly unlikeable, even putting away the poor filming technique and inconsistent performances. Even though she's the most amiable, Munra is reticent and has a limited vocabulary, which makes it hard to relate to her. However, until a later point in the story, Luismi and Brando don't show any signs of improvement, and even then, the viewer might not be won over by their "healing". As a result, viewer tiredness occurs well in advance of the credits rolling.
Hurricane Season's foundation isn't fundamentally bad but it might be done better. The movie may have succeeded as a concise anthological drama with lively characters and a fast tempo. Unfortunately, it turns into a tedious and uncomfortable watch.
