Jorge Garcia gets lost in the role of Memo, a near mute but former child signing prodigy in Netflix's first Chilean original movie. Its beautifully shot and Garcia is a commanding presence but ultimately falls, like his singing, a little flat as the slow pace in the first two thirds of the movie culminates in a somewhat rushed final act.
An abomination of a movie that manages to be offensive; misogynistic; racist and classist. It is never funny; makes no sense and looks like it was filmed on a potato. Not even worth watching in a "so bad its good" way. Awful script, terrible performances for everyone involved. Congratulations on wasting our time for 85 minutes (listen to our podcast episode instead, its the best thing about this movie).
A Polish take on Se7en, this serial killer thriller is a ton of fun and there is plenty of gore in there for good measure, it boldly plays its twist at the halfway mark and is no less fun for that decision. Leave your brain at the door and you'll have a good time. Come for the action, stay for the haircuts.
Charming and surprisingly affecting, this is a relatable movie for those of us who can still remember what an upturn to life it is leaving behind those hometown friends. Good performances make this a really impressive debut feature length feature from Rizvi and Ashurov.
