Losers

About This Movie

So, 'Losers' from 2022 really dives into the mess that can come from self-help culture. It centers on this guy, Samuel Ordoñez Ybarra, who wrote a book that, honestly, seems to have caused more harm than good. You get to meet four people whose lives have been turned upside down by his relentless optimism. The tone is a weird mix of dark comedy and raw drama, which makes it stand out. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that kind of mirrors the chaos in the characters' lives. The performances are sincere, and you can feel the weight of their experiences. It’s kind of gritty in a way, and the practical effects—if you can call them that—add a nice touch to the storytelling. Not your typical feel-good flick, for sure.
