El gusano solitario dives into absurdist comedy with a strange, dark twist. Escamillo's relationship with his tapeworm is both bizarre and oddly relatable, tapping into themes of dependency and the human condition. The film's pacing is quirky, sometimes meandering, yet it offers a unique rhythm that keeps you engaged. The practical effects are delightfully gross, enhancing the surreal atmosphere without veering into outright horror. Performances are genuine, with a blend of humor and pathos that feels fresh. It's distinct in how it blends everyday struggles with the absurd, making you question what's really 'normal' in our lives. A real conversation starter for those who appreciate unconventional narratives.
