‘Problemista,’ written and directed by Julio Torres starring Tilda Swinton, takes on the U.S. immigration system and isolation, all packaged in a sweet surrealist bow. Read the full SXSW review here:

The movie begins with Alejandro as a boy in El Salvador. He’s sitting in a field with his artist mother Delores drawing pictures. She shields him from the world by encouraging him to create safe spaces for himself, so the young boy retreats inward where he explores the boundaries of his wild imagination. As an adult, he lives in New York City with the goal to become a toy maker with Hasbro. The young man has tried many times to apply for work at the company but is denied.

The cast is strong, particularly Swinton who is all-in, with the snappy dialogue and outrageous costumes. In, she’s an entitled super Karen and is everything wrong with American society, but Alejandro uses that to his advantage. As unbearable as the woman is, she tends to get her way even if it is by screaming, gaslighting and being obnoxious. Alejandro understands he can’t fully adopt this attitude, but he can become a problem for others in his own way.
