A small report about the film "The cobbler" The story has a very interesting and creative base idea, but I think it lacks storytelling and a solid building of tension. It sounds very much monotonic and it fails in creating a main character which whom we can relate to and be sympathetic about (which is kind of ironic, considering the film thematic). Maybe that is because there were too much characters to develop and not enough time for us to create a connection with them. In the end, the sensation it gives is that the irresponsibility of Max wasn’t addressed, as his actions wasn’t punished but praised. For me, the greatest part about this movie is Carmem’s arc, which portrays her fight for her believes and where Max founds a bit of redemption
