Grandine

A meteorologist famed for his accurate predictions on the news gets his very own show...for one night. Because of an unexpected storm he loses all credibility and gains something much more valuable.

As his error puts his life on the line in Argentina's capital city: Buenos Aites; he goes into hiding in in his hometown, specifically his estranged daughter's place. Here the plot turns into a story of family, forgiveness and not forgetting ones' past, whilst storms rage around him!

Without shoving Climate Crisis down viewers' throats, the film hints at the unpredictability and growing harshness of Mother Nature's ire with the darkest sense of humour Argentina has produced. The heartfelt reconciliation of father and daughter is as short as the storms the film portrays, and not as visually impressive!

Not an Armageddon or a 2012 disaster film, but a lovely finding yourself film with storms in the background.

5/10 why?

The good

• Nice viewings
• Some funny jokes
• Quite entertaining
• Good performance of the cab driver (Peto Menahem) and the meteorologist (Guillermo Francella)

The bad

• Dull plot
• Very long
• Bad special effects
• Quite exaggerated
• Not drama, not quite funny, not moving, what is this?

Those are some thoughs of the movie i came from with, i just recomend turning off your brain an enjoying a movie that is just to spend so time at the sofa.

Nice light hearted easy watching movie. Quite catching actually. And shows some Argentinian culture, landscapes and Buenos Aires city. Recommended for someone looking for an entertaining movie.

This film was produced for Netflix and Kweller.

I think the best part is the special effects at the end, in general everything is very poor

I can't believe that Nicolas Giacobone was the same one who wrote the script for Biutiful and Birdman, because this story is so poor.

The performances are not good and for the Argentine viewers the crude cameos of the kweller group do not look good (Kutnezoff, Lozano, O donell, Peña, is too much)

It's an entertaining movie, it's not the best of Francella, but it's good. It is a comedy that seeks to show what social networks are doing to the world in a comical way.
