Alejandro!

About This Movie

So, there's this film, 'Alejandro!' from 2024, that dives into a rather whimsical yet poignant narrative. It follows a piñata, crafted by an elderly artisan, who’s kind of existential about his life in a party store. The pacing is leisurely, giving you time to soak in the atmosphere of the store and the depth of Alejandro's character. The humor is gentle, but the underlying themes of purpose and longing really resonate. You see this piñata, beautifully made and yet overlooked, and it’s all about that subtle contrast. The practical effects on Alejandro are quite charming—he feels real, like an artistic creation with a soul. The performances, though centered around a piñata, have this heartfelt quality that pulls you into his journey.
