Monte (2023)
After a heart attack, Luís (60) experiences the threat of death for the first time, as well as the impact of aging on his body.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
