Teenagers are the worst creatures on the planet. Right under executives and fire ants. Sixteen-year-old Sofia (Demian Hernández) dreams of an exciting life, not living with her dad in some boring commune with all his like-minded friends. She wants to move in with her mom, a touring musician, smoke cigarettes, and date older boys.
This was very clearly meant to capture a moment in Chilean history, specifically being a teenager in 1990. This is not something I can relate to, but that's okay. My main issue with this film is that Sofia is unlikeable. Which, again, most teenagers are. It is an insufferable time for them as well as the people around them. Maybe if you related to the character, this could be funny or charming, but not for me. It's currently streaming on the Criterion Channel.
