In 'The Patient,' Patience Doesn't Really Pay Off
'The Patient' is bound by four walls and a mediocre ending that leaves you wanting more.
Marraia
In Burarama, in the late 1960s, brothers Marcelo and Lua face an epic defeat in a marbles game against Baloni, the region's best player. Marcelo, however, refuses to accept the outcome and challenges his rival to a rematch - with one condition: they must wager 300 marbles in just ten days. Marcelo embarks on a true journey to gather the marbles, testing his intelligence, persistence, and character, and ultimately discovering that this adventure goes far beyond simple marbles. The film thus offers a reflection on the process of maturation, the relationship with time, and the discovery of the world, both for children and adults.

As a huge fan of Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket, I’ve wanted to watch Anora since before it even was released. But life got in the way, my watchlist grew, and honestly, the fact that it was marketed as a romantic comedy put me off. Even with all the critical praise and the five Academy Awards it won last year, I just kept postponing it indefinitely.
