Filmed in the fall of 2021 over 23 days
Narrative
A down-on-his-luck chef with gambling problems flees to a Latin American villa, where he assumes the identity of another man.. Jack: Could be a helluva lot worse..
Short review: The synopsis for 'What You Wish For' was so vague I really had no idea what to expect going in
The little we did get about a chef with a gambling problem assuming someone's identity didn't even scratch the iceberg though. This film was an absolute blast from start to finish.I don't think I'll ever forget the minute the ball drops in this film.
It was said so casually and reacted to so calmly that I thought I must've misheard or misunderstood
I didn't though and from there on out we were on a wild ride.The film is dark, but also often hilarious. It finds a great balance in terms of how seriously to take itself, certainly leaning heavily towards the serious side, but just enough tongue-in-cheek moments to realise just how out there of an idea this is.
I really enjoyed this one
9/10.
