Not a lighthearted feel-good movie.
This film has a beautifully simple storyline that manages to capture the dreams and struggles of a group of street kids on a roadtrip from Medellín, Colombia, to a poor and rural region.
Los reyes del mundo shows us both the best and the worst in humans, without being loud or in your face about it. We see the empathy of strangers, but also the lack of it. We see undying friendship, but also friendship cracking under pressure.
The cast puts in an incredibly impressive performance. I don't know anything about their backgrounds, but they hardly miss a beat.
If you're in the mood for a lighthearted feel-good movie, this is not the one for you. But otherwise I warmly recommend it.
