Reviews
In 'Ambiciosa', Meche Barba is a young woman that climbs the ladder of the film industry through false and empty relationships. Somehow, portraying a sordid secret item and recognized in the film room. It is a curious and interesting film, made at the end of a filmography that Barba unexpectedly cut the following year. Meche Barba is amazing as a great villain in her performance, but who steals camera is the singer and actor Fernando Fernandez, who in the sequence where calls Barba for abandoning him, it does dramatically.[http://rincondelaanoranza.blogspot.mx/2008/10/de-las-joyas-de-meche-barba-ambiciosa.html 'Ambiciosa']
