Their cinematic marriage is a strange, explosively touching expression of the collectivism that both artists seem to enjoy. Ramirez as a Bank of America customer service rep who sells maybe the greatest line reading of the film.

Also worth celebrating in the 'Problemista' ensemble: James Scully as an insufferable nepo baby getting a graduate degree on being cute in the arts and River L. Owens and Titelman, in fact, appear in “Problemista”: the latter as a scorned protege of Swinton's character and the former as the anthropomorphized embodiment of Craigslist. Torres, too, is part of a comedy community: His rising generation of funny folks like Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers, Larry Owens and Greta Titelman often appear in each other’s projects, like a gay, millennial Rat Pack. Since her keynote at the conference Monday, I’ve been struck by Swinton’s devotion to all things collective: to good company, and to surrounding herself with creative collaborators who can play around instead of debasing themselves by “acting.” In interviews about “Problemista” at SXSW, Swinton said that her sole reason for signing onto the project was Torres.
