Saquemos Reyes

About This Movie

Saquemos Reyes is one of those slow-burning pieces that really captures the essence of friendship and the tension that can bubble beneath the surface. The film meanders through a Saturday afternoon with Lucio, Leo, and Pato, weaving card games with alcohol, and an undercurrent of unresolved issues. It’s not flashy, but it has a certain charm. The performances feel natural, almost like you’re eavesdropping on their lives. The pacing might throw some off, as it embraces those quiet moments that reveal layers of character. Visually, it sticks to simple, yet effective setups, relying more on dialogue and interactions than on grand spectacle. It’s distinctly reflective of those lazy afternoons where everything is both significant and trivial at the same time.
