  • Subtle movie about the friendship of two young men

    Red-1252018-10-15

    Mi mejor amigo (2018) is an Argentinian movie shown in the United States with the translated title My Best Friend. The film was written and directed by Martín Deus. The movie stars Angelo Mutti Spinetta as Lorenzo, a shy, quiet young man who is chosen last for sports, but who is a classical guitarist and an avid reader. His life is changed by the arrival of Caito, portrayed by Lautaro Rodríguez. Caito is tough, muscular, and well versed in life on the street. He's the exact opposite of Lorenzo, but they still become friends. Caito has been sent from his father's home in Buenos Aires to stay with Lorenzo's parents. He's had serious troubles, brought on by his impulsive behavior. He pushes limits every chance he can, and those chances often involve Lorenzo. Both actors are excellent. Director Deus deserves credit for knowing how to bring their talent to the screen. The film is subtle in the way it portrays the bonding of the young men. Actually, the entire movie has a subtlety about it. No one is a villain, no one sets impossible standards, and no violence occurs. It's a gentle film, but there's always a sense of foreboding about it. You'll have to watch it to learn what motivates Lorenzo, Caito, and Lorenzo's parents. We saw this film at Rochester's Little Theatre. It was shown at ImageOut, the excellent Rochester LGBT Festival. This was its New York State premiere. It will work well on the small screen. Right now this movie has an IMDb rating of 8.4, which is remarkably high. However, less than 100 people have rated it, so that number could change. That high rating reflects my own thoughts about the film. I hope the rating remains high, so more people will want to see it. It's worth finding and viewing. It will work well on the small screen. P.S. Watch for Mariana Anghileri in the unheralded supporting role of Lorenzo's mother. She's a great actor as well as being very beautiful.

  • Lgbt?

    It's less of a gay themed movie but more so of a special bond between these two as their friendship begins to develop on screen. Beautiful nonetheless.

  • An unusual friendship in Patagonia

    FrenchEddieFelson2019-04-03

    A subtle film which tales a friendship story between 2 teenagers that everything seems to oppose. Lorenzo is benevolent, empathetic and sometimes impetuous. He lives within a strict although serene and convivial environment. In short, a fairly quiet life in Patagonia. In contrast, Caito is calm, shy, not prolific in words and unpredictable. Indeed, he learned to live alone, without being accountable to anyone. A life significantly more difficult within a drug-and-prison environment. Although they are fundamentally different, they will learn to understand, help and appreciate each other. The beginning of a deep friendship filmed with subtlety. Even if the movie takes place in Patagonia, it's not a remake of Brokeback Mountain. The landscapes are perhaps similar but, in my humble opinion, the analogy stops right there.

  • Very Good Movie

    rahmmie2019-01-06

    Slow but extremely excellent movie about a deep friendship between two young men. I did not give it a better rating because I think the main character could have been better cast (an actor with a wider range would have killed the role of Lorenzo) but all the other characters were incredible. There are subtle subplots of homosexuality, child abuse, overprotective parents and they are all masterfully combined into the story.

  • A lukewarm movie

    amamoky2019-04-04

    Set up in Patagonia, the story first introduce us to Lorenzo - a shy, soft-spoken boy, that follow the rules and likes to read and football - who lives with his family, mother, father and a younger brother. One morning, his father Andrés, informs them that an old friend of his has asked him to take care of his son for sometime, Caito, which his wife, Camila, reluctantly agrees on. Caito arrives to the family and is first received by Lorenzo, they talked and wait for the rest of them. From there on, the movie goes to really standard coming-of-age queer movie probes, Caito is a revel, with drug problems and poor set up boundaries, the total opposite of Lorenzo, but yet they become "best friends", sharing their time and deepest secrets. In general, the movie is so by-the-book it ends up being boring. Their homosexuality is barely hinted on both cases in different scenes, but never really fully fleshed in the interactions of both main characters. The ending is so default that it's not really a spoiler to say it. The acting is good except for the guy that plays Caito. His long stares and lack of emotion is really distracting. Also, I don't know how old the actors are, but they're supposed to be one year apart from one another but they look at least four. All the technical aspects are good, good cinematography, sound, etc. It's the story that needed to be more fleshed out.
