The Te$t

Directed by Dani de la Orden1h 50m2022

What would you choose: be a little rich now, or wait ten years and be filthy rich? Could you wait this long? Why? And most importantly, could you come to terms with your life partner? The protagonists will have to choose between the possibility of opting for 100,000 euros at the present time or obtaining a million euros after ten years...

Our read: The Te$t (2022) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
