User review:
I had the privilege of seeing Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe twice at the Palm Springs Film Festival in January 2023. As a fan of the novel it’s based on, it was wonderful to see this beautiful story come to life.
The screenplay and direction by Aitch Alberto was clearly created with such love for the story that it translated beautifully onto the screen. With any adaptation, parts of the story have to change, but I actually found myself wishing that two new scenes from the movie had actually been in the book because they added so much depth to the story.
Max Pelayo and Reese Gonzales as Aristotle and Dante were perfect in these roles. You’d never know this was either of their first feature films. The acting was nuanced and they knew those characters so well.
And the parents! One of the things I loved in the book was that Ari and Dante’s parents were fully-fledged people (not just side characters tossed in) who loved their sons so fully. In the film, the love from their parents and the differences in their family dynamics and how they love, was the centerpiece as well.
Love in many forms is a central theme to this film and I look forward to watching it over and over when it has a full release.
