'Mutt' is a day-in-the-life drama with plenty of potential that falls short of bringing this story to life. Our Sundance review:
Day in the life stories are a well-worn genre in filmmaking, but they work for a reason. Getting a small portrait of a person as they go about navigating one approximately twenty-four-hour period strikes a balance between revealing and withholding as we learn much via their daily interactions while still trying to fill in the gaps of what came before.
It all begins with Feña out at a party. Seemingly relaxed, when he steps outside for a call we first hear from his father who is going to be traveling to the city and needs to be picked up from the airport. The conversation is tense, and you can hear the baggage the two share as Feña promises that he’ll be there. When he attempts to go back to the party, he catches sight of his ex John who hasn’t seen him since he transitioned.

The issue becomes that the more that Feña has to keep explaining himself to various other close-minded characters, the more we lose sense of who he is and what is going on in his own mind outside how others see him. This makes for the least engaging version of this story possible as it starts to shift from being about navigating a harsh world to having a narrative that is driven by it.
