Donde duermen los pájaroa

A film that attempts to tackle profound themes like friendship, freedom, and the passage of time, but unfortunately fails to fully connect with the viewer.

The premise of following Leonardo, a teenager betrayed by his best friends, and his subsequent immersion into a dreamlike, surreal world sounds appealing on paper. However, the execution of the film leaves much to be desired.

One of the main issues is the poor technical execution. The cinematography looks shoddy, with a dull photography and shots that fail to take advantage of the visual potential of the dreamy locations and situations. The dialogues are also overly simplistic, depriving the characters and their existential dilemmas of depth.

It's difficult to fully empathize with Leonardo due to a script that fails to develop him properly as the protagonist. His story arc and motivations feel diffuse and inconsistent at times.

While the film tries to convey messages about topics such as possession, the passage of time, and individual freedom, these get lost amid a narrative that fails to cohesively bring all its elements together in a satisfactory way.
