In the hot Argentine summer, a group of friends get together to enjoy the holiday. They drink, party hard and make videos together. A rare mix of homophobia and horseplay comes together; however, under the surface, jealousy and violence begin to emerge. A twisted triangle of friends between a repressed gay, a secret bisexual boy and a homophobe, will push tensions to the limit.

This is a darkly astute study of how men in big groups can feel obliged to live up to the expectations of boys will be boys whether or not they actually enjoy it — and no matter where it may lead.

“Horseplay” is less an acutely mapped-out anthropological study into toxic masculinity and pervasive homophobia and misogyny, and more like having to spend a day chilling with the most annoying guys you know.

There's a lot of eye candy, but it needs more substance.

Its insight into hyper-hypermasculinity and its correlation with social condition around sex and gender norms rings true,

His latest is more like the 2016 Taekwondo, a near-plotless excuse to show off a slew of such guys at leisure in various states of undress, both resisting and indulging a rampant homoeroticism...

Unsufferable characters (and oftentimes you have trouble understanding who's Who, ten of them look the same with small variation), slow paced like all of Berger's movie but with no character development nor an explanation of why they act like they do. The premise (guys in their late twenties and thirties joke about sex - credible - and fondle each others' privates just for fun? Sure) is ridiculous and the development atrocious. Of everyone died at the end nobody would've given a f#*@. Disappointment.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Es como que un reboot progre de Taekwondo pero del mismo director, me extraña el falso mensaje "hetero normativo" totalmente exagarado... Una pena.
