Synopsis:

From Apple Trailers: “A playful yet heartfelt take on the rom-com genre, THE FILM CRITIC follows Victor Tellez, a world-weary Buenos Aires film critic who prefers to think in French and eschews romantic clichés… until he finds himself living one. Riddled with ennui and the maladie du cinema, Tellez drifts from screening to screening in search of cinematic perfection, casting judgment on filmmakers and their films with scathing incisiveness. But when a chance meeting throws him into the jarring world of gorgeous thrill-seeker Sofia (Dolores Fonzi), he starts to question his meticulous, intellectual routine and realizes there’s more to his story than he ever dreamed.”

Review: The tagline “What if your life became a movie that you hate” is an interesting concept in itself. However, the trailer doesn’t play into that narrative very well and instead this looks like a screenwriter with writer’s block who can’t seem to find that great story he’s looking for while his life changes around him. That’s an interesting concept too, but not as outlined in this trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
