Bob Trevino Likes It

"Bob Trevino Likes It" surprised me. I was drawn to it because I like John Leguizamo's work. He's really stellar as a working class man with manifold layers; a man isolated by grief, work, and his own inhibitions. Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria) is exceptional as Lily, a lost and lonely soul, aching for connection, lacking in confidence. The depth of compassion that is forged between these two characters draws the viewer in from the beginning. Its development ensures the viewer will want to see how and if their bond will continue.

This film has an excellent cast, a wonderfully original screenplay, and isbeautifully acted. It's emotional without being sentimental. The main characters have serendipitous chemistry. The supporting cast are equally strong and important to plot development and thematic elements. It's moving, quirky, funny, and clever.

People are rarely what the appear to be from the outside & "Bob Trevino Likes It" reveals this theme, among others, with aplomb. Recommend!

I will not post any spoiler details but as a creative, a writer And fan of films this will be seen as a perfect movie. This movie will encompass the human condition through the main character in a swift masterful journey of self growth and resilience through bittersweet circumstances.

I will be the first to claim it will be oscar worthy out the gate and one of the best films of the decade.

I truly loved the whole cast's performances as an assemble . When this Film drops I implore you all to rush to see it.

I will state it is a universally relatable film due to how anyone watching will feel the humanity in it.

Bob Trevino Likes It deservedly won Best Narrative at SXSW, had full houses going on five showings. This film was one of the most life affirming I've seen in a while what with honest performances, a nuanced script that balanced laughs with sobbing (yep, the good kind). Diretor Laymon brings us a story steeped in the modern world of social media yet at the same time providing the audience the unrelenting power of human connection. Gloriously graceful and smart, Bob Trevino Likes It is a refreshing character study that rewards the audience by eschewing cheap gags and crass dialogue in service of masterful storytelling. A trumph!!!

What started out as a little cringe in the beginning, evolved into one of the most heartfelt emotional movies I've ever seen in my life. I was openly sobbing and I couldn't hold it in. I was watching with a friend and usually I can hold in emotions but man, I couldn't this time.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE. I felt the acting and performance of the lead woman on a deep level. I believed everything. I mean you need to watch this from start to finish and don't stop. It will get you. You will feel it in your bones by the end. What a pleasant surprise this movei was.

It's about loneliness, human kindness and compassion for others.

One of those you don't except anything and you're going out from the movie theatre with such a mixed feeling. But not a mix of positive and negative but mix of laughter and emotional crying. It started almost ridiculously funny and ended with such A burst of emotions.

It's not so common old story of a girl with daddy issues. She has no mother and with that kind of father she has, she probably would have better without. She is the Politest young woman you can think of and seems like nothing is bothering her, towards her environment, but inside, she is a volcano Waiting to erupt.

Once Lilly, the protagonist and movie's main character, finds herself an internet friend, that becomes kind of substitute dad, it seems a little bit odd. But both Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizamo makes it feel so authentic and real, that it is like the story slides into the audience hearts so easily and naturally.

This story is based on a true story of Tracie Laymon, the director of this movie. It is well shown when the movie is directed in an intimate and very personal way. It seems that Laymon really put her heart in this project. It is her debut as a director with a full featured movie and if this is her first milestone in the industry, we can except great things and future from this marvelous creator.

The chemistry between Leguizamo and Ferreira is special. It is something that we don't usually see in other movies. Its not perfect, but both actors do such a good job to patch things up and make it work. Its all authentic and so moving when both actors meet and just enjoy their time together. It easily breaks walls or cinematic curtains and leaks to the audience.

I'm not watching "Euphoria" and don't really remember Barbie Ferreira from "Nope" (she actually had a small part in this movie), but in this current movie, she is has just melted my heart. Leguizamo is at one of his best parts ever and both, as mentioned earlier, make this story sell and work almost perfectly, to create one of the surprising movies lately.
