Problemista

Surrealist comedy has no problem getting laughs.

The predominant mode of Problemista is playful, its comic sensibility curious and askew – enough to make the film, a promising if uneven debut, a delight throughout.

Heartfelt from the first moments, Torres’ directorial debut will undoubtedly stick with you and have you dreaming of the odyssey of your own life – and, of course, how you hope to push through it like Alejandro does for himself.

Julio Torres is truthfully one of the funniest comedians working today.

...this fearless, authentic debut showcases immense command of a unique and inventive form of humor, while touching on a very real issue with heart and candor.
