Welkom is a quirky little comedy that dives into the absurdities of bureaucracy and familial bonds. The whole setup is pretty offbeat: you've got Jorge, who's caught in this strange tug-of-war between his love for his father and his disdain for the father's pet chicken. The humor is dry, and there's something about the pacing that keeps you engaged without feeling rushed. The struggle for a building permit adds this layer of frustration that's almost relatable, especially for anyone who's dealt with red tape. And you can’t help but appreciate the practical effects used for the chicken – adds a certain charm to the film. The performances, though not from big names, carry a genuine warmth that makes it feel personal.
