A playful yet heartfelt riff on the romantic-comedy genre, THE FILM CRITIC follows Víctor Tellez, an intellectual, world-weary film critic who prefers to think in French and eschew the clichés of romantic movies...until he finds himself living a sappy, feel-good love story of his own. Riddled with ennui and the maladie du cinema, Tellez drifts through Buenos Aires from screening room to screening room in search of cinematic perfection, all the while issuing judgment on filmmakers and their passion-projects with scathing incisiveness. But when a chance meeting abruptly brings him into the world of beautiful thrill-seeker Sofia (Dolores Fonzi), he begins to question his usual cynical routine and realize there’s more to his own story - and the tradition of classic rom-coms - than he ever dreamed.
