I watched this documentary on Netflix, and I must say it is one of the most bizarre Argentinean movies/documentary. As an Argentinean, I felt ashamed by watching this documentary. It does not truly represent Argentinean people. Characters were erroneously cast, and shows some of the worst traits of Argentinean people, their arrogance. Some discriminatory scenes can be noticed too.

I was born and raised in the south of Brazil, where we share the same habits of eating roast, preparing it in a very similar way that was displayed in the movie. Moreover, I was lucky enough to visit and experience the Argentinian roast while I was in Argentina. Based on that, I can assure you that this is a masterpiece that captured not only the way they do it, but also the feelings involved in the act of roasting meat. It describes and shows very well the customs and habits of the "gauchos", the gathering, the silence, the preparation, the cooking... and all things involved in roasting barbecue. It has a nice touch of humor, the footage is very interesting, the way it captured the speeches and the scenes. A true masterpiece and worth seeing!

It seems to take a pulse of the country at a producer/ working level. While attempting to educate.

Some part of me hopes it was primarily meant to be seen by urban wealthy Argentina and the 1st world. So they could say it was an ironic mockumentary. While being told some home truths and fed some interesting information around the topic

As I watched this, i went through phases. Initially I thought, this sucks as a doco.

Then I thought it sucked as a mocko.

But, I think this product is the result of funding buying into the pitch but then toning it down. Standsrd art and funding. If so, Target achieved. Something for urban liberals to titter at and snowflakes to Twitter at.
