      Audience Member What a cleverly written and fun film - great execution all around, and a stellar cast. Definitely a weird and different type of indie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Worth checking out if you like independent movies with a strong theme, tender characters, and a solid story! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This was simultaneously a fun and deeply thought provoking little film. Existential crisis put to the ultimate test. Loved the performances, especially of the older actors. Will leave you scratching your head, in a good way. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Pablo and his Grandfather have a business searching for cases and proof of the afterlife. When a mysterious man shows up with a special bunny, they go on a trip of a lifetime in a search for immortality. Worth checking out if you like independent movies with a strong theme, tender characters, and a solid story. It's a whimsical kind of movie that explores life and death. I believe it's something I could have watched with my whole family (perhaps 10 or 12 years and older). Definitely check it out! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A heart warming film about the relationship between a grandson and his grandfather. The storyline is full of turns and twists as these two private eyes look for the elixir of immortality. Magical-realism genre is not my favorite since I prefer more high fantasy like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. But overall I was quite entertained. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I love magical realist movies and this one really left a great impression on me. Nowadays it's hard to find fantasy films with no superheroes or robots. I'm glad they are indies like this that can entertain but also dive into serious subjects like the afterlife.
