Did anyone come out of lockdowns with as big a glow-up as Jordan Firstman? Other than, like, Jeff Bezos’s blood money? Sebastián Silva seizes a moment only possible in our desolate social media epoch, holds it up to the sun like an expensive scammy moon-charged crystal, then tosses it off the roof to shatter nasty on the blocks.
Catalina Saavedra (Problemista, Ema) anchors this hypermetatextual grim farce, the axis from which dramatic irony wildly whips about poking eyeballs and punching guts. For fans of masterclasses in tone, nearly unwatchable discomfort, and lots and lots and lots and lots of dicks.
