Rotting in the Sun Movie Reviews

Only one saving grace to this film…

… and that was the masterful performance by Catalina Saavedra, playing Señora Vero. She had a lot to work with inside this plot, and was the absolute best part of the film.

People are calling this a film with two protagonists. And yes, I suppose that strictly speaking, that’s true. There is a switch in viewpoints about forty minutes in, and that’s when the film takes a turn that it never recovers from. The protagonist after that point is superficial, annoying in the extreme, and exactly like you’d expect a “social influencer” to be. I suppose in that way, he is successful in the role. But, to turn the whole film over to this guy makes the viewing experience trying. I get satire, I didn’t get this.

The plot was good for what it was. I only wish that there were better people put in front of the camera to play it out. I can’t in good conscience recommend this, but if you must, it IS worth it for Catalina Saavedra’s performance. The 5-star is for that and most of the background actors.

“Is it K or poison?”

I just loved watching this movie. Hard to watch in some parts but overall this is a modern age art film at his best.

It was such an interesting idea from the director to come out with this story. It’s like a moodboard of the queer community but also about the difference between being a local or a visitor in a foreign country.

I wasn’t expecting the twist through not even halfway the movie. The character of Vero is silly but also brilliant. Jordan is just being Jordan and we just love to watch. Like he said, he’s a happy clown!

Between all the shots on the dicks, the Hitchcock mystery or the drugs use, this movie was very original and it just shows that you don’t need alot of budget or material to make a movie that will catch your attention and made you think after.

We need more projects between Sebastian and Jordan!!

Refreshing

Wasn’t expecting a few unexpected twists and the fast sudden change of leads within a movie with 2 protagonists. Impressive. This has a genuine feel of reality and it follows a very logical route of story telling. And that’s exactly how the guilty character would behave with anyone caught in that dire predicament. The female helper was truly superb in her performance giving so many conflicting and disturbing vibes of what exactly is she in character essence. She can seem naive and somewhat intellectually slow, yet her instinctive prodding for an accomplice to erase her reckless misdeed betrays her darker nature. Again, the ending was another unexpected twist from her yet unpredictable surrender of truth when she could have had simply fade into oblivion. Great show.
