We loved this film. Comedy is much harder than drama and comedy with some heft and a real story is very rare. This film is just that - a great story, full of all sorts of cultural references and nuance, with incredible characters and great acting and directing.
Yes, there is a touch of Argentine romanticism, but that is an inherent part of Argentina. On a daily basis things are happening that you think "if I wasn't witnessing it with my own eyes, I would believe it."
Argentina has an incredible abundance of acting talent and it was on display here from the main characters all the way down to many of the many minor characters. There is fantastic acting at every turn.
The directors making endless great choices and actually avoid many of the overly romantic tropes of much Argentine film. No doubt they have a great future ahead and we'll be watching for future films.
