A handsome kid with musical keys tattooed on his neck and a gaze that keeps toggling between absent and insolent, Jesus is frequently left to his own devices because his widower father, Hector, is often absent for days on end for work. The adolescent seems to have an iffy handle on money but at least seems to enjoy being part of an all-boys group that performs at K-pop-fueled dance-offs. Whether it's the actual dancing or the teenage public's screaming adulation that he craves, however, is never quite clear because he isn't much of a talker and when he does speak, he doesn't tend to actually say all that much. With his buddies, he's also into less innocent forms of entertainment, including watching snuff videos in which Narcos kill people; inhaling forbidden substances or engaging in rough nookie with both male and female friends or acquaintances.

Jesús (2016) Reviews
Once was enough
Sometimes a film is slow, with characters doing not much and featuring lengthy shots of little import, but it works. Other times, as with 'Jesús', it does not. The titular character is a member of a teenage gang in the Chilean capital Santiago. The lads pass their time practicing their 'K-pop' moves, watching execution videos, drinking and having casual sex. Just as the viewer is losing the will to live (I kept myself alert by mentally compiling my shopping list), things spark - but only a little - when the gang viciously assault a drunk they find in a local park. With the man hospitalised in a coma and the police closing in, the gang turn on each other, with Jesús himself torn between betraying his erstwhile friends or evading justice himself. My word, does this film drag. Those lengthy shots of people driving, or walking down a street, or eating; the conversations with only one participant in camera (and often in extreme close-up); the 'workshopped' feel to much of the activity... I do not think I have ever been so bored by a film! The actors do their best - Alejandro Goic, as Jesús' often-absent father faced with parental responsibility of the most difficult kind, is noteworthy - and I suppose as a portrayal of aimless, hopeless South American youth the film certainly gets its message across, but there is an overpowering feeling of dullness about it all. Although the sex scenes are daringly explicit, even they have a feel of being chucked in just to keep the viewer from nodding off. Not one for a repeat viewing!
Boring development...
I think the Chilean scriptwriters have good ideas but bad development of scripts, they do not know how to maintain a good plot, they do not know how to create good dialogues that make us stick to the screen, a clear example of that deficiency is this film.
