Mister Universo is an intriguing blend of drama and introspection. Tairo, the lion-tamer, is on this quest that feels almost like a modern-day odyssey. The pacing can feel a bit languid at times, but it really allows you to soak in the atmosphere of Italy's landscapes. The film dives deep into themes of loss and the search for identity, all wrapped up in this unique journey. The performances have this raw quality that pulls you in—especially Tairo, who feels very relatable in his pursuit. Practical effects are minimal but effective, giving it this grounded feel. It's distinctive in how it explores personal connection through the lens of nostalgia.
