Cute, but a little long and repetitive. I wasn't familiar with the story, which is based on real events, though the comedic undertones make me a little weary of how much truth-bending was involved. Regardless, it makes for a pretty amusing film, which was more than I expected going in.
Bernal's performance is strong and the premise is golden. I wasn't too happy with the filter to make the film look older and the advertising angle started to wear a little thing after a while. Even so, it's pretty crazy to think a version of this actually happened, and Larraín did a decent job turning that into a movie.
