A Poorly Told Story

About This Movie

A Poorly Told Story takes an intriguing approach to narrative. It dives into the psyche of Pedro, an everyman grappling with feelings of inadequacy. The film's atmosphere is surreal, blending fantasy with a somewhat melancholy tone that resonates well. The pacing can feel uneven at times, almost reflective of Pedro's internal struggles. One of its distinctive elements is the use of practical effects to visualize the narrator's presence, which adds a layer of originality. Performances are raw and relatable, particularly the dynamic between Pedro and his narrator, which creates a unique tension. It’s not your typical fantasy fare, more like a meditation on self-worth wrapped in a whimsical package.
