Movie Review: Writer-director Julio Torres proves a storyteller to cheer with awesome 'Problemista'
The hero of “Problemista” sees the world differently. Alejandro is the creation of Julio Torres, who stars, directs and has written “Problemista,” an off-kilter and very winning movie from a rising artist who thrillingly reflects his own toy maker's singular, idiosyncratic mind. “Problemista” is not like a Wes Anderson-type hyper-whimsy, but more like the surreal bursting joy of “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
