La de Messi has this raw, gritty vibe that pulls you right into the lives of Lautaro and José, two brothers fending for themselves in a tough environment. The film explores heavy themes like family dynamics and childhood innocence amidst the backdrop of poverty and neglect. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing the emotional weight of their situation to settle in. The performances by the young actors are genuine, adding layers to their characters’ struggles and hopes. It’s interesting how the film juxtaposes small moments of joy, like the World Cup figurine album, against a backdrop of uncertainty and violence. There’s a certain rough charm in its approach, making it distinct in how it portrays resilience in the face of adversity.
