Kill Piñera

About This Movie

‘Kill Piñera’ is like a chaotic mash-up of comedy and crime, wrapped in a satirical take on Chilean politics. Bastián, our aimless protagonist, navigates through university life filled with self-important peers, which gives the film this raw, almost frustrating energy. The pacing is a bit uneven, leaning heavily into absurdity as Bastián makes his ludicrous decision to assassinate the president. It manages to balance humor with a biting socio-political commentary that's hard to ignore. The performances, especially from Bastián, carry a certain relatability, making the absurd premise feel oddly grounded. Plus, there's some clever practical effects that stand out amidst the film's rough edges. It’s distinctive, no doubt, capturing a unique moment in time and culture.
