The Film Critic

"The Film Critic" is an Argentinian film written and directed by Herman
Guerschuny. It stars Rafael Spregelburd and Dolores Fonzi and tells the story of a depressed and unhappy middle aged film critic who dislikes most of the films he spends his work days viewing until he encounters a love interest that he hopes will change his life. To complicate this rather dull film is the fact that there are double subtitles, i.e. English and French, in addition to the Spanish actually spoken by the cast. Following the relationship of each of the characters to the other is not easy and, though the second half of the film gains some momentum and interest, the movie as a whole does not offer a good viewing experience. I give the film 2 stars and suggest that it be put at the bottom of your bucket list, especially if it has a leak.
