Who the hell cares, really, given that the eponymous teenager (whose name is actually Yuliet Ortega) is the subject of an incoherent hybrid of drama and documentary that comes across as little more than the artiest home movie ever made? The film was reportedly shot without a script, and that's precisely what it looks like; if you've ever been forced to watch a friend's hand-held chronicle of some wedding or lawn party, you've already seen this movie--all you have to do is imagine that Salma Hayek showed up for a couple of minutes to make a few irrelevant remarks. (Director Carlos Marcovich worked as the director of photography on Hayek's Midaq Alley, so she was willing to do him a favor.) And since the anachronistic white subtitles frequently disappear against the background of Yuliet's equally white blouses and tank tops, perhaps the most relevant question is: What the hell did Juliette just say? Not recommended. (M. D'Angelo)
