Yo, Potro (2018 TV Movie)
10/10
A masterpiece
3 August 2021
Yes, that's what I said. It is a masterpiece. Perhaps difficult to understand if Spanish isn't your first language, but the level of nuance in the telling of the family dynamics are all but too relatable. No, I don't tend to strip at weddings or anything of that nature but like most great art you aren't meant to take it on the nose. Potro, still funny as ever, became much more than that. His incredible range of emotion glistens and makes this character so three dimensional. Potro isn't perfect... we know that, but his huge heart makes you only want to root for the fella. The screenwriting coupled with the incredible acting and cinematography makes you just want more from what is an incredibly satisfying emotional roller coaster. The way it's shot is brilliant and really adds to what feels like real life. Even with some of the hyperboles contained and the obvious situation that this is a mockumentary you can't help but feel that you were witnessing someone's real life because of the raw emotion that it contains. The acting is so superb, really delivers on the idea that nothing was rehearsed, and it was all happening as it was with the incredible nuanced line deliveries. Bravo.
