10/10
A heartbreakingly beautiful rite-of-passage film for the ages
20 March 2024
Prepare to be completely swept away by writer/director Tracie Laymon's heartfelt and touching directorial debut, BOB TREVINO LIKES IT. Not since LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, THE FISHER KING or ONCE has a movie made me laugh, cry, feel and care for the characters so effortlessly. I've been a fan of Tracie's short films and award-winning screenplays for years, but I was completely unprepared for how powerfully this film would wrap me up in its spell and never let me go. From the beautifully vulnerable performances of Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizamo, to the pitch-perfect script, to the masterful cinematography and directing, there's a dozen reasons why this film ran away with both the 2024 SXSW Jury Award and Audience Award. If it's a story of the heart you're looking for, look no further.
