Tortugas

About This Movie

So 'Tortugas' is this quirky blend of comedy and documentary, which is kind of rare, right? The film dives into the eccentric world of sea turtles and the people who obsess over them. It's not just a bunch of talking heads; there's this playful rhythm to how it intercuts humor with some real insights about conservation. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but I think that's part of its charm. The practical effects used for some of the turtle interactions are surprisingly well-done. And even though the director is unknown, the performances from the cast—both human and turtle—bring this warm, lighthearted vibe to the film. It’s definitely a distinctive piece that stands out in a sea of typical nature docs.
