Why watch the movie I Don't Expect Anyone to Believe Me?
"Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frías de la Parra (of the award-winning "I’m No Longer Here") is back with an adaptation of an autofiction: the novel I Don't Expect Anyone to Believe Me ("No voy a pedirle a nadie que me crea") by Juan Pablo Villalobos. In it, the author (played here by Darío Yazbek Bernal, "New Order") plans to travel to Barcelona with his girlfriend (Natalia Solián, "The Bone Woman") to study literature. However, days before, a criminal group bursts into his life to force him into a major deal in the Spanish city, turning his stay there into a kind of noir novel. With a language closer to fiction than in his previous film (which flirted with documentary), Frías proposes here an entertaining fiction with a playful metatextual awareness. It might not be suitable for those who prefer more conventional narratives, but those looking for the opposite will greatly enjoy it."
