Borrón y Vida Nueva

About This Movie

Borrón y Vida Nueva takes a somewhat familiar premise and spins it into a quirky comedy with unexpected layers. The film's tone dances between absurdity and poignant moments, reflecting Ulises's struggle to piece back together his life. The pacing is a bit uneven but it lends a certain charm, with moments of frenetic energy juxtaposed against quieter, introspective scenes. The performances are solid, particularly the lead's portrayal of confusion mixed with determination. The practical effects, though minimal, are used thoughtfully to enhance the narrative rather than distract from it. What stands out is how it explores themes of identity and memory loss without becoming overly dramatic or sentimental, making it a distinctive entry in the genre.
