Plot summary

A misguided American documentary crew working for an edgy media company travels to rural Argentina to profile a local musician, but their ineptitude leads them into the wrong small town. As they collaborate with locals to attempt to fabricate a viral trend, unexpected connections blossom, while a pervasive crisis looms unacknowledged in the background.

Nothing interesting

Nothing interesting, just another exploitative and poverty shaming mediocre film trying to be quirky. The script lines are as badly written as they are badly delivered. A student's project sold as a movie. It is not even funny that people in their mid-thirties think these platitudes are worth the money and time spent on their making.

A film that makes you think nor feel anything

Awarding this thing 10 stars is only possible if you've never seen a film before, so please take those reviews with a metric ton of salt.Let's be clear: what you're watching isn't a movie so much as a term-paper video project accidentally upgraded to feature length because a couple of C-list celebrities wandered onto the set. Simon Rex-evidently advertised a lot in the promotional material-takes one look at the script, clocks roughly six minutes on screen, and bolts faster than you can say "day-rate."Plot? Stakes? Try again. A ragtag videography crew descends on a "poorish" Argentine town in search of a "viral" town celebrity, discovers they've got the wrong hamlet, then decides to manufacture their own meme instead. Surely their grand stunt will be deliriously unhinged, humorously culturally tone-deaf, or at least mildly amusing, right?Wrong. Their big idea is... people dancing with gift bows on their heads. Ha. So zany!The writing oozes the worst kind of coastal-hipster smugness: when a childish routine doesn't quite land you can also close it out with a joke about ketamine. Characters arrive pre-flattened: the serial philanderer, the mildly gay guy with hair that looks like a wig (apparently being "kinda gay" with the town's "family motel" owner is his whole personality and character arc), the perpetually seething woman (Sevigny does nothing in this film but get blasé).What about the locals? Certainly they're colorful in some way. Nope. Mostly reduced to "look, deformities!" punchlines-because nothing says comedy like gawking at disabilities and then gasping, "He has a girlfriend? Hilarious!"The film's approach to filming some of the other locals is equally disgusting. It really just amounts to: "can you believe these talentless hicks are actually auditioning for our talent show? How silly of them." The irony is the filmmaker casts herself as one of the members of the videography team and can't seem to get a single line out without it sounding like it's read off a blurry teleprompter. So pot meet kettle.Visually, it's GoPro roulette: cameras duct-taped to dogs, refrigerators, the back of a motorbike-anything to scream "quirky" while contributing zip to theme or story. It's filmmaking by Pinterest board: random kooky angles in lieu of ideas.In short, the film is equal-opportunity offensive-puerile to its core and yet somehow blissfully too lazy to do any serious lampooning. If you manage to finish the runtime (despite being short, the scenes drag out absurdly long with no punchline), award yourself ten stars; you've demonstrated more endurance than the filmmakers ever did creativity.

A Triumph

As of 7th June 2025, this film has a 5.8 score, from 242 ratings. What this tells you is, firstly: not enough people seem to have seen this film, and secondly: most of the ones that have wouldn't recognise a great movie if it slapped them in the face!Evaluation of art, philosophy of aesthetics and all that - I'm not going down that road, but I gave Magic Farm a 10*; because I enjoyed it so much, and because it blatantly deserves a much higher rating than it currently has.Great visuals, grading, tastefully experimental cinematography, opening credits, props, wardrobe, location, sets etc.Tastefully experimental and appropriate soundtrack.Interesting and loveable characters, portrayed with some perfect acting performances.Easy going, lovely poised plot; leaving room to ponder between the lines.I watch a lot of movies, and have done over several decades. I rarely rate or review. I've taken a little time here because Amalia and the rest of the crew deserve much more credit for this triumphant piece. Well done, and thank you! ?
