Norteños

About This Movie

Norteños is quite the oddity in the comedy-drama sphere. You've got Barry, a charmingly dimwitted guy from the Northwest of England, stumbling through life after committing a rather gruesome act against his grandmother. The film’s tone oscillates between dark humor and surreal moments, especially when Barry finally drags his ex-lover Linda into his chaotic world. The pacing is a bit uneven, which lends itself to the film’s quirky atmosphere. Practical effects are minimal, but they work well with the absurdity of the narrative. Performances are raw, particularly from the lead, capturing a blend of despair and absurdity. It's distinctive, for sure, with its bizarre take on morality and the everyday struggles of ordinary people.

Interesting take on dark humor.Surreal elements mixed with drama.Character-driven narrative.
