Walter Mercado created a new mold.
He told people what to do, yet they loved him for it. He grew up poor in a macho culture, yet became as androgynous as he was famous.
The movie does well to capture the indescribable astrologer. Flamboyant, mysterious, and simple come to mind.
Each stage of Walter’s story gets more interesting. A slower ending shouldn’t stop us from hearing it through.
