About Searching for Oscar
Óscar Peyrou is a veteran Spanish film critic who writes his reviews according to a very peculiar method: in his opinion, it is not really necessary to watch the films since it is possible to judge them simply by looking at their promotional poster.
Directed by Octavio Guerra, Searching for Oscar leans on a strong ensemble — Óscar Peyrou, Alfonso Quiñones, Carlos Francisco Elías — 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 documentary titles of 2019.
