Synopsis

From the producers of MINARI and MOONLIGHT comes the next great coming-of-age journey. Fourteen-year-old Olmo and his family are struggling to make ends meet in 1979 New Mexico. Due to an illness that keeps his father Nestor confined to his bed, his mother Cecilia, his sister Ana, and even he himself must contribute to the daily caretaking responsibilities. Olmo, in the throes of selfish adolescence, would much rather hang out with his best friend Miguel and try to impress his beautiful next-door neighbor Nina than take care of his dad. And when Nina finally invites him to a party on the day that he’s been left alone with his dad, Olmo will do whatever he can to get out of his duties, embarking on a journey of mischief and chaos. In his desperate attempt to escape his home life, he will come to realize that the place of his deepest pain is also where he will find solace: with his family.

Mexican Superbad. I wasn’t rlly digging with the first half as much but I found it a lot more charming in its second half tho. Also “Executive Producer Brad Pitt” jumpscare.

The best word to describe Olmo is charming. What a nice, charming film. I liked the vibe, it was funny, it was touching. My only big complaint is about all the stuff with Olmo's crush.....it was so cringe and weird 💀. But the rest was really nice !! (I don't have a lot…

Vu au festival de Deaville 2025 Un genre de The Whale sous-produit. Je n’avais pas d’attentes particulières, et heureusement. Le film incarne tous les clichés du drame indépendant "gentil" mais vite oublié, jamais réellement touchant ni passionnant. La plupart des…

Lifehack: si solo sabes hacer un tipo de película, hazla cada 10 años y quizá nadie lo note… 🅱🆁🅾🅾🅾🅼🅰🅰🅰🅰 En esta casa adoramos el trabajo de Fernando Eimbke y atesoramos ese estreno que llega con cada década. Y ahora es el turno de Olmo, que le sigue a la que…

Eimbecke in an almost aggressively populist mode. Often pleasant, but it misses his more oddball touches.
