Mode avion

"Airplane Mode" is a featherweight and very colorful comedy held up by the charms of its lead, Larissa Manoela, whose hasty performative turn as Ana, the social media-obsessed influencer, rings sparkle into the film. The story narrates Ana as she learns some good lessons in self-discovery after being sent to her grandfather's farm, deep away from the digital world. It is an easy, almost predictable, nonsense-filled plot filled with funny and touching moments, particularly between Ana and her grandfather, who becomes a great character, played by Erasmo Carlos. Though nothing seems new and almost smudges in very recognizable genre tropes, "Airplane Mode" works wonderfully as an enjoyable, feel-good crossover that would suit light watching, focusing on the importance of disconnecting and reconnecting with life's simple pleasures.

Watched it after some minutes of releasing on Netflix, what makes me appreciate the movie more is the idea of that our relation with social media isn't well, and that making a distance with it maybmake our lives better!

If it weren't for the actors and their likeability, you might find this even worse. Not that this is amazing or anything, quite cliche to be honest. But you should expect that with a movie and a story like that. This is aimed at a younger audience with some social commentary thrown in for good measure.

You know where this is heading, you should also be able to be way ahead of the "twist" of the movie too, without having read about it. Small, simple and can be fun, if you have low expectations and just go with it

The movie is cute, but the overacting of the "villains" was a bit painful and the storyline was very predictable.

I did enjoy the MC and she was believable. Though most of my issues could be from the dubbing instead of having subtitles.

Predictable, but surprisingly lovely story. I expected trash before watching and ended up with a nice and enjoyable little film. Lead actress Larissa Manoela (who's incredibly successful on Instagram in real life as well) brings her stereotyped role to life.
