I Like It Like That

Presented in 35mm

Chino (Jon Seda) isn’t the best husband to Lisette (Lauren Vélez). His job as a bicycle messenger can barely support them and their three children, and he’s having an affair with another woman in the neighborhood. After Chino is arrested for looting, Lisette is forced to find work on her own. By chance she happens to land a job as an assistant to a record executive. When Chino gets out of prison, he’s shocked to discover Lisette is a changed woman—one who might not need him anymore.

"I Like It Like That is full of fine supporting performances, with Ms. Moreno, Mr. Borrego, Ms. Vidal and solemn little Mr. Melly fully bringing their characters to life. But it is Ms. Velez who is in almost every scene, holding the movie together."
Janet Maslin, New York Times

This film is part of the Nuestro Cine 2025 series.
