PROBLEMISTA

“An inventive, whimsical and delightfully oddball story of the immigrant experience, PROBLEMISTA marks the promising writing and directing debut of Julio Torres.”

“What Torres nails is breathtaking, especially that midnight anxiety at the ATM, the scanning for sketchy cash jobs online and, most sneakily and warmly, a blooming connection.”

“It’s a marvelous mixture of surrealism and social satire that depicts the American dream as a nightmare of bureaucracy and phone calls to customer service. There’s nothing more absurd, the film argues, than the mundane.”

“This fearless, authentic debut showcases immense command of a unique and inventive form of humor, while touching on a very real issue with heart and candor.”
