Sex, Love, Misery: New New York
(2022)
|
Sebastian Zavala Kahn
|
It manages to empathise with these people, and to connect with an audience that could find themselves in similar situations. Indeed, what they will find here is sex, love and (a little bit of) misery, just like in real life. Full review in Spanish.

The Roundup
(2022)
|
Sebastian Zavala Kahn
|
'The Roundup' cuts straight to the chase: all it wants is to use a real-life story to develop a predictable and archetypical plot, and deliver brutal and well-choreographed action scenes. And it does as promised. Full review in Spanish.

Private Desert
(2021)
|
Sebastian Zavala Kahn

It has lots to say about the rigidity of gender roles and masculinity in contemporary Brazilian society. The fact that it can convey these messages in a delicate and even at times beautiful way, is what makes it worth recommending. Full review in Spanish.
