Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Perhaps because I have read his columns and what she writes in twitter what happened to me is that her jokes were a bit "old" to me. Also some of the humor used is a bit too dirty and full of swear words, which is very popular in Argentina (and Uruguay where I'm from too), but I don't like it. Overall it's not bad, but I expected it to be a bit more funny. Having said that, it has some funny bits, the duration is the adequate one and the introduction with the song is BRILLIANT.
It's fresh and acid, she's always been like this. The fact that people see this as a bad thing makes my blood hot like hell. also, having "Malena Pichot" as a title it's a clear sign that this is totally feminist.
I saw this and think she is just a woman with a superiority complex. Only dick jokes and cheap humor level.
Malena Pichot is one of those Argentine celebrities that pays little respect in show business. She decided long ago to work and talk according to her own ideas, and she does not bend here either. Feminism is all over the place, explicit language as well. The massive amount of sharp observations and the singular critiqué Pichot provides seems aimed to really young audiences, female and male, mostly from Argentina and Uruguay. I personally praise her decision on political content over sexyness or popularity. This show in particular could, from time to time, look less polished than those of comedians like T. Noah; however, it's fair to address that Malena is not playing home, the production behind the special is not the same that's been behind "Cualca!". Compared against other specials done by Netflix in Argentina, it seems they saved some money here. It's a good start and it does provide lots of fun for those willing to hear this kind of commentary. It may not turn up so much entartaining for those unaccustomed to political satire/stand up.
