Sad and beautiful little story
Rodrigo_Amaro4 March 2024
Despite its title, "No One Can Be That Bad At Making Coffee" is not a comedy. Instead, it's a dramatic piece with some flirting with romance and many sadness. The same team that brought the short "La Empresa" returns to deal with some similar scenario revolving a man who can't cope with a new life situation.

Again, I'm gonna have to keep you in the mystery in order to not reveal too much about it. As he tries to be at peace with himself thorugh meditation and exercise, the character played by Enzo Vogrincic is distracted by the apparance of his girlfriend (Sofía Lara) and they have a dramatic conversation while reflecting about the distance between them.

It's a fine presentation of elements where audiences keep on guessing what's the exact nature of such sudden encounter, where they are exactly and why this couple can't be together - the humor on the title makes it more appealing and it's discussed between the characters. As my Spanish is a little rusty for listening and the version I've seen didn't have captions I may have lost one or two dialogues that could possibly ease some comprehension of things. But I got its essence and I find it a very compelling story. And again, Vogrincic delivered another great performance, as he's always expressive and can convey plenty of emotions without saying much. 8/10.

bitter poetry
Kirpianuscus19 March 2024
The bitter poetry , enveiling the story of young Angel, perturbet, in his meditation exercises by Candelaria. A nice - amusing title, a simple story and something than you expect . Because it is a film about relations, obstacles, options and the feeling for the other.

About happiness and honesty and decisions defining the crafted facts.

Beautiful work of Enzo Vogrincic, admirable atmosphere, precise message , gentle exploration, in precise - honest terms, of a sensitive subject.

And one of stories different , profound, beautiful defined moment by moment , offering a fresh perspective about what easy is defined as connection between people. Not ignoring the beautiful cinematography.
