Las Palmas

About This Movie

Las Palmas is this quirky mix of comedy and drama that really stands out due to its unique casting choice. You've got a one-year-old girl as the protagonist, trying to navigate her holiday experience, which is both charming and slightly offbeat. The entire supporting cast is made up of marionette puppets, which gives the film this surreal atmosphere that’s hard to shake off. The pacing feels natural, almost like you're watching a child's free-spirited imagination unfold. Themes of friendship and the struggles of connection are there, but the puppet performances add an odd layer of depth. It's one of those films where you can appreciate the practical effects and the bold direction in a way that feels both refreshing and a little strange.
