CGiii Comment

There's much to admire...

However, there's too much too berate...a staggering amount of edits and a constantly moving camera!

It looks cinematic, it has a strong narrative and is performed well...shame it kinda fizzled out in the end!

The(ir) Blurb...

After her boxing career back home ends in scandal, a young Puerto Rican woman must adjust to her new life as the superintendent of an apartment building in Harlem. 'Super' is a raw and candid film about pushing forward past your previous failures/mistakes and making a difference with what you have. Artfully written, beautifully shot, and honestly acted, it will be sure to set itself apart from other narratives on the festival circuit.

Chupa, una joven puertorriqueña en Harlem intenta ajustarse a su nueva vida como superintendente de un complejo de apartamentos, tras un escándalo que terminó su carrera como boxeadora en Puerto Rico. Un altercado con un vecino que padece de sus facultades mentales la enfrenta a transcender la violencia de su pasado, o tronchar su oportunidad de un futuro estable.
