Repitente

About This Movie

Repitente offers this offbeat glimpse into the life of Andrés Ortíz, a filmmaker who can't seem to get his act together. It's a comedy that plays with the idea of ambition clashing with reality. You see him trying to navigate his failures, not just as a student but also as a creator, which creates this interesting duality. The pacing is a bit uneven, which reflects his chaotic life—sometimes it lingers, and at other times, it rushes through moments that feel oddly profound. The performances are raw, adding to the authenticity of his struggles. The practical effects are minimal but serve the story well, making it feel grounded, even in its surreal moments. It's definitely distinctive, a quirky take on youth, dreams, and the harshness of growing up.

Quirky character study · Uneven pacing but engaging · Interesting use of practical effects
