Rating: 4.0/5.0

Torres is Alejandro, a nebbishy immigrant from El Salvador in New York City. He is there for one goal … to become a toy designer for Hasbro. While going through the application process, he works for a cryogenic company, maintaining the frozen body of Bobby (portrayed by the rapper Rizza). Bobby’s wife Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton), a prominent art critic, needs to sell Bobby’s paintings to pay for his frozen state. When Alejandro needs a sponsor to extend his visa, and Elizabeth needs an assistant to help mount a show, a new odd couple is born.

”Problemista” is in select theaters March 1st, and Chicago March 8th. See local listings. Featuring Tilda Swinton, Julio Torres, RZA, Isabella Rossellini and Catalina Saavedra. Written and directed by Julio Torres. Rated “R”
