Puerto Escondido

Director Gabriele Salvatores constructs a comedy on the clash between the rigid life of a bank clerk and the chaotic freedom of a Mexican coastal town. The film relies on the energy of absurd situations and grotesque supporting characters who drag the protagonist into a world where logic is optional.

Those who tire of predictable narratives will find a charmingly messy tale of self-discovery. What lingers after the credits is the warmth of an imperfect adventure where wrong turns feel surprisingly right. — MovieFinder Editorial
