El niño azul

About This Movie

So, 'El niño azul' is a quirky comedy that dances around some pretty heavy themes—like mortality and media sensationalism. You have this child with Fallot syndrome, and the whole premise is built on this ticking clock of Christmas Eve. It’s interesting how the journalist exploits the boy’s condition, turning him into a sort of celebrity, but then the film goes in unexpected directions when the fateful night comes and, well, nothing happens. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to that surreal atmosphere. The performances bring a mix of humor and pathos that kind of keeps you on your toes. Practical effects? Not front and center here, but they do create a charming, low-key vibe that feels authentic in its own way.
