About Esto no es SadFace
Bruce Blanco, a decadent retired rockstar, is the founder of the legendary band SadFace. Bruce aspires to revive his days of glory. After Bob's death, a former member of the band, Bruce sees an opportunity to bring SadFace back to life when he meets Remy, Bob's son. Remy, a misfit teenager with three friends, wants to follow his father's step by becoming a rockstar himself. Bruce, Remy and his friends will struggle together to rescue the band out of oblivion, but their aspirations will be threatened by Asli, Bradley's daughter, another former member of the band who had an overdose. Asli blames Bruce for his father's death, so she will do anything to stop him from reviving SadFace.
Directed by José Salaverría, Esto no es SadFace leans on a strong ensemble — Jorge Luis Moreno, Guaiker, Juan Mantilla — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
