Problemista (2023)
1/10
guess first review was problematic for this drivel
10 April 2024
The other review i wrote was taken down, so i guess someone can't take the criticism... maybe it wasn't constructive enough :-?

Why do i need to add my 2 cents? Because it boggles the mind that this has so many positive reviews and a 7.5 rating!?

The 2 talented actors (Tilda and Isabella) are wasted here to stroke the ego and gives focus to the mediocrity of its "star, writer, director." You want to sympathesize for the central characters (Alejandro) plight of gaining residency through all the legal trappings in the USA but who you ultimately feel sorry for in the end is his mom.

The question you'll keep asking yourself while watching this is why? Why does Alejandro act that way? Why does Alejandro want to work at Hasbro? Why doesnt Alejandro think of better toy ideas? Why doesnt Alejandro take that paralegal job and help his mom gain US citizenship and explore her creativity instead?

Problemista tries too hard to be quirky and weird that its just off putting. There's not a single character that you root for in this hogwash.
