Problemista (2023)
Excruciating
25 March 2024 - 33 out of 79 users found this review helpful.
Two hours of cringe-worthy jokes and painful dialogue that felt like four. Five minutes in, you yearn for the ending credits.
Attempts at whimsy (which involve Shakespearean exchanges in fantasy land) feel forced and awkward. You aren't transported into another world but instead painfully aware you're watching a bad movie.
Despite a decent cast and positive core message about overcoming obstacles to immigration, there's little to like about the characters. Tilda Swinton's nails-on-chalkboard persona is bad. The juvenile, shuffle-walking Torres is worse. In the end, nobody is really redeemed. Catch something else and spare yourself the agony.
