Los Reyes Magos: La Verdad

Sign of the times: Amazon producing a Christmas film in Spain for its Prime streaming channel, aimed at the Spanish-speaking market, which celebrates the Wise Men instead of Santa Claus or Baby Jesus.

Taking the model of the fake documentary, popularized by The Office series, we are presented with three majestic wizards in decline, in the privacy of their mansion, in search of an image renovation that combats the increase in popularity of Santa Claus among Spanish children.

A different Christmas movie for non-Hispanic people, family oriented, occasionally funny, aimed at modern Tik-Tok kids.

I found really interesting the way that this film presents the audience the topic of modernity versus tradition through the lens of three humans who have lived 2,000 years. I especially liked the human angle how THE THREE MAGIC KINGS present their reality with decent performances from the cast. The story is hilariously told by the kings themselves and their frantic public relations person, who brings her daughter to work just to open the eys of their majesties at the right time to make the right decision.

Kudos to this great assemble that puts together most of necessary elements for a decent film. Kudos to the soundtrack and edition.
