Straight after watching it I had to write this review. FirstFerreira was amazing in thisand indeed all the actors were great. Really film was about a woman who was abandoned as a child by her motherand raised by an uncaring and selfish father. She gets bybut is lonely. On the internet she meets a guy with the same name as her fatherand he shows her platonic love.
I loved the original storyand the demonstration of caring between people who are all suffering with their own problems. A beautifully crafted film. Nice cinematographybeautifullly emotive. Such a touching film and for me a real gem. While sadit shows a real positive aspect to humam hearts. Please watch thisit's great.

The little 2024 film that couldearning a raft of audience and critical praise as well as a large collection of festival awards at some of the industries premiere eventsone suspects that the life of Tracie Laymon's debut feature Bob Trevino Likes It is only just beginning as more audiences discover this based on a true story tale for themselves.
Based on Laymon's own personal experiences after meeting with an online contact while searching for a connection with her real life fatherTrevino clearly comes from heartfelt place and while it walks the same path of many similar low-budget character driven films of the pastit's hard not to be moved and inspired by this small but effective offering that is worked brilliantly by its two leads.
Finally getting a chance to test herself in the feature film landscape after making her mark in hit HBO series Euphoriaa lot of Trevino's success rests on the shoulders of Barbie Ferreira and she is more than up for the task.
A tricky role for any performer to deliver onwith Lily being a complex and flawed iteration of Laymon's own-selfFerreira does a fantastic job of keeping Lily on the right side of the ledger while at the same time creating a memorable chemistry with her off-sider John Leguizamo who is as good as his been in years as the softly spoken and kind-hearted Bobreminding us all that when he is given the right material and he himself investshe's one of Hollywood's most reliable character actors.
With her two leads on fine form there's any easy-going nature and feel to Trevino yet while viewers may feel as though they have everything pegged as the early stages march onLaymon has some tricks up her sleeve with where Trevino goes and how it goes therecreating an emotionally resonate and powerful watching experience that is sure to surprise many unsuspecting viewers unaware of what Trevino has too say about lifelovefriendship and finding ones way in this big scary world.
In a day and age where small independent films like Trevino feel like a dying breed as they are forced into fighting for space in cinemas or standing out in crowded streaming marketplacesLaymon's relatable and humanly focussed dramedy isn't a revelatory experience but its a timely reminder of the power of films of this shape and size.
Final Say -
Sure to discover a wide-reaching and passionate fanbase as a larger audience accesses the film on home mediaBob Trevino Likes It is a heartfelt and heart-warming little tale that features two fine central performances anchoring proceedings.

I will not post any spoiler details but as a creativea writer And fan of films this will be seen as a perfect movie. This movie will encompass the human condition through the main character in a swift masterful journey of self growth and resilience through bittersweet circumstances.
I will be the first to claim it will be oscar worthy out the gate and one of the best films of the decade.
I truly loved the whole cast's performances as an assemble . When this Film drops I implore you all to rush to see it.
I will state it is a universally relatable film due to how anyone watching will feel the humanity in it.

What started out as a little cringe in the beginningevolved into one of the most heartfelt emotional movies I've ever seen in my life. I was openly sobbing and I couldn't hold it in. I was watching with a friend and usually I can hold in emotions but manI couldn't this time.
I LOVED THIS MOVIE. I felt the acting and performance of the lead woman on a deep level. I believed everything. I mean you need to watch this from start to finish and don't stop. It will get you. You will feel it in your bones by the end. What a pleasant surprise this movei was.
It's about lonelinesshuman kindness and compassion for others.

Tracie Laymon's 2024 film: Bob Trevino Likes It is garnering much recognition. It continues her narratives in how the human emotions invested within social media. It's a reminder of societal dependency on social media which for some users is a lifeline.
There's many aspects that make this comedy drama workfrom good story telling to great performances. Brazilian American actorBarbie Ferreira is excellent as a traumatized young woman. As the characters of Bob TrevinoJohn Leguizamo and French Stewart contributed major characterization of the film's only male figures.
Laymon wove the story with careful detailing of actors' performances to rural location shots. This combination brings out the disparity of the main characterLily Trevino (Ferreira). Even how the topic of social media being a big part of that character reaching out for help.
Ferreira is truly a break out performerleaving film goers excited to see what future cinematic opportunities lie for this Latinx actor! As far as Laymontheir directorial chops are strong and steady!
