Saturday Specialearly ratingWhy it’s a Saturday Special
It was critically acclaimed, despite almost no lasting buzz. A strong pick for the weekend.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone with a soft spot for road trips and animal lovers. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. Shelve it next to The Heist of the Century. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 2 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Jose is an elderly rebel who, after being refused a withdrawal at a bank, returns with a gun and threatens to shoot himself if he doesn't get his cash. Pedro, a young teller, is disillusioned with his life and sees Jose's stunt as a way out when he pretends to be taken hostage, leaving the bank with the old man and a hefty amount of money. The unlikely duo become friends, picking up tough-girl Ana along the way, while avoiding the police.
