Boca de asno

About This Movie

Boca de asno is a curious mix of comedy, drama, and horror, set against the surreal backdrop of the pandemic. Ximena's journey through her endless loop feels oddly relatable; you can almost taste the frustration and absurdity of her situation. The film plays with pacing in a way that mirrors the monotony of lockdown life, which keeps you engaged. The practical effects are subtle yet effective, adding a layer of realism to her increasingly bizarre day. Performances are solid, with Ximena’s struggle resonating deeply as she navigates her existential crisis, particularly through the simple act of taking a frying pan to the recycling center, which becomes a turning point. It’s this blend of genres that gives the film its distinctive flavor.

Interesting take on pandemic life.Unique genre blend of comedy and horror.Themes of repetition and change.
