Trending Position
Full of dark revelations and scattered with offbeat satire, ‘Papi Chulo’ has an important message to share about mental health. Its pacing isn’t perfect and the result is a story that lags at times, but this film bravely tells a story rarely seen on screen, let alone from within the LGBT community. ... And fear not - despite its heavy subject, it finishes with a happy ending that’s both fitting and still grounded in reality. ‘Papi Chulo’ is an important start to a discussion that requires a much larger conversation. - Charlie David Page Read Charlie's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-papi-chulo-a-deep-dark-comedy-dealing-with-lgbt-mental-health Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/sff for more Sydney Film Festival reviews.
