Audience Member Great low-budget movie, You can really feel the emptiness & boredom but that doesn't mean that the movie is boring it's actually hilarious & fun & how it points out some small things is really ingenious, I feel I'm rating it a bit low, Can't wait to see Whisky Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 4 out of 5 - "Clerks" style comedy (also shot on grainy B&W), takes us through 24 hours of the life of 3 distinct Uruguayan young men, as they deal with girlfriends, family, work and study problems. Their only real motivation, going out with their friends. Funny and authentic, with terrific dialogue and characters, although probably best appreciated by Uruguayans. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie has some incredible little details that make all the boredom of life relatable and funny. These are not movie characters so much as people I've met and talked to and hang out with.

I hadn't missed teenagehood this much in a long time. This slow-burning slacker comedy from Uruguay clearly owes a debt to Rick Linklater, Kevin Smith and, especially, early Jarmusch. It's shot in b/w, and its three feckless young anti-heroes do nothing much over the weekend quite stylishly, pondering the implications of getting dog shit on their shoes, for example, or riffing on what it means if your girlfriend gives you a hamster (definitely nothing good). If the characters sound like dim bulbs, well, there's plenty to relate to - and Rebella and Stoll have lots of cool tricks up their sleeves. Just get a load of that vinyl rpm PoV shot, for example. Fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member El sol en la cara después de una larga noche nunca estuvo mejor representado.
