FINDING ALTAMIRA (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Finding Altamira—tries so hard—lacks that over-the-top presentation that would allow Antonio Banderas to shine. It’s an average story stuck in an average frame, slightly interesting but not enough to hold its audience.
