Alejandro, un créateur de jouets originaire du Salvador qui tente de se faire un nom, peine à développer ses idées singulières dans la ville de New York. Alors que son visa de travail est sur le point de prendre fin, son boulot d’assistant personnel d’une artiste erratique et imprévisible devient son seul espoir de rester au pays, et réaliser son rêve. Le scénariste et réalisateur Julio Torres nous offre une aventure surréaliste qui navigue à travers les mondes tout aussi périlleux que sont la ville de New York et le système d’immigration américain.

A good-hearted and surreal work of imagination. Great writing and nuanced characters. The audience was laughing throughout and it managed to be touching without being cheesy.
Weird, colorful, and stark. A kind-hearted approach to various intersections of "other", Problemista is, quite decidedly, not for everyone. But for the people who resonate with it, it is a gem. Starkly looks at how society interacts with immigration policy, economic disparity, neurodivergence and compassion. It takes the stories of those who have fallen through the cracks in our world and stitches them together into an ending that felt... earned? Like i said, not for everyone, but I enjoyed my time with it.
Loved that at the heart of this movie is a story of a young immigrant who falls in love with the bravery of their (softly) abusive and annoying boss. That's a kind of story that you don't see often in Hollywood. Finding beauty in the overlooked and the mundane. Also, anyone who immigrated to the US from a small country will feel seen by some of the jokes (Tilda Swinton recognizing El Salvador as "that country where a bunch of nuns were killed in the 80s").
I love movies that take chances and try to use new and creative methods to tell a story. Call it abstract, absurd, or whatever. I watch a couple of hundred movies a year, so I welcome different. The problem is that "different" is not always synonymous with "good". I love Swinton so much.... this movie just didn't work for me even though I gave it three chances (I fell asleep twice). I didn't love her character, although I think she may have done the best she could with the material. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies
Tries to do for visa, what *Everything Everywhere All At Once* did for taxes. I liked the imaginative sci-fi stuff and the themes of immigration but the comedy not so much, it's trying so hard to be funny but I didn't laugh. It hurts me to say this because I love Tilda Swinton but very annoying characters and performances.
