I Am From Chile

About This Movie

I Am From Chile is a quirky comedy that captures the awkwardness of a young Chilean navigating life in London. Salvador’s journey is marked by the contrast between his sheltered upbringing and the vibrant chaos of immigrant life. The film's pacing is interesting; it lingers on moments that reflect Salvador's internal conflicts while weaving in humor that feels both genuine and relatable. The performances, particularly from the ensemble cast of fellow immigrants, add a layer of authenticity. It’s fascinating how the film explores themes of identity and belonging without heavy-handedness. The practical effects and set designs do a nice job of grounding the story in a real-world setting, making the absurdities Salvador faces hit closer to home. A real gem for those who enjoy character-driven narratives.
