Watch Trailer

"An imaginative, impressive, not to mention hilarious debut..."
— Cat Cardenas, Slate

"Torres’s directorial eye is wholly his own, though one can see shades of Miranda July, Michel Gondry, and Charlie Kaufman in Problemista."
— Matthew Jacobs, New York Magazine/Vulture

"Julio Torrest takes a simple story about immigration and human connection, and turned it into a comedic, surrealist fantasy that serves as an epic critique of capitalism."
— Valerie Complex, Deadline Hollywood Daily

"This absurdist comedy becomes a beautifully moving piece about how we make it through the world with desperation and hope, and the hard-earned lessons we find in each other."
— Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service

"There is so much rich material in the absurdity: how immigrants and artists crave to be seen, how modern systems eat up people, how we try to cheat death and how technology doesn’t live up to its promise."
— Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

"Heartfelt from the first moments, Torres’ directorial debut will undoubtedly stick with you and have you dreaming of the odyssey of your own life – and, of course, how you hope to push through it like Alejandro does for himself."
— Lex Briscuso, Little White Lies
