facumsiller on Letterboxd Add a clever use of sound and Ricardo de Angelis's thoughtfully shot cityscapes to the credible performances and you have, finally, a winning and sensitive take on modern metropolitan life across the class divide.
Wally Hammond on Time Out very playful but gentle, addressing the big themes without relapsing into gloom. not easy tackling things like existential loss, search of ones identity and death. in it's naive approach a very fresh and nimble-footed piece of latin american cinema, that shows his european siblings how to do an indy dramedy without falling into mannerisms.
