Palo Santo

About This Movie

Palo Santo is this intriguing blend of drama, fantasy, and music, set in a city where humans are practically relics. The world-building is fascinating; the android society's reverence for humans adds a layer of eerie worship that lingers. The pacing is a curious mix of slow-burning tension and unsettling moments, especially during those cabaret performances. You're left pondering the nature of existence and identity while the vibrant visuals and practical effects pull you in. The characters, particularly Olly, are portrayed with a raw vulnerability that resonates deeply. It's an odd film, but that oddness is what makes it stick with you. Definitely a conversation starter in any collection.
