This is a very nice well made movie with a beautiful sad heartbreaking important true story that is beautifully written and told. Performances are superb and real. The film also has great production design and amazing costumes. Dance Of The 41 is a must see biography and it's on Netflix now, you have no excuses.
Plot summary
Based on the Ball of the Forty-One which was a society scandal in early 20th-century Mexico. The incident revolved around an illegal police raid carried out in November 1901 in a private home in Mexico City. The scandal revolved around that that of the group of men who attended, 19 were dressed in "feminine" clothing. Despite the government's efforts to hush the incident up, the press was keen to report the incident, since the participants belonged to the upper echelons of society (including the son-in-law of the incumbent President of Mexico). This scandal was unique in that it was the first time homosexuality was openly spoken about in the Mexican media and had a lasting impact on Mexican culture.

Amazing and Sad
Wasted idea
The film tells us a very interesting real event and its production quality is good; however, it is boring and fails to tell a story that is good or even memorable.
A true story poorly told!
While this costume drama is visually appealing, the script is poor and the acting really bad. Looks like all the money was spent on the costumes but very little spent on the more technical aspects like ensuring good audio and editing for good story continuity! With a better script, it might have achieved its full potential.
