Every day for decades, Walter Mercado - the iconic, gender non-conforming astrologer - mesmerized 120 million Latino viewers with his extravagance and positivity. And then he was gone.

In the film, Mercado defines himself as androgynous and insists that the primary relationship of his life is with his fans; he also jokes about being a virgin even in his advanced age. But man - what a magical world he created. His intros and his voice and his beyond Liberace outfits stand out in the macho world of Mexican television, a Puerto Rican performer just seamless fitting in while standing out at the same time.

For as big a star as Lin-Manuel Miranda is, you can tell how humbled he is upon meeting Mercado. That human moment made this entire movie for me. It's exclusively on Netflix and well worth checking out.

A very beautiful film that covers the extraordinary life of Walter Mercado. This biographical retelling not only tells Walter's life but captures his magic & essence quite well.

This film does what it intended to do and then some. You'll feel so much richer after learning about his life.

5/5. A true homage to one of Latin America's greatest television personalities.

Maybe I didn't fully enjoy the documentary because I'm neither Portorican nor American, but I found it definitely too long. Mercado is an interesting guy and his career is impressive, but the story felt repetitive.
