  Marianne Jean-Baptiste gives an all-time great performance. She is able to convey anger, resentment, pain, fear and anxiety with just a single glance while also potraying how her character is unable to verbalize or express any of these emotions at the same time. Pansy is such a complicated character, yet thanks to Marianne Jean-Baptiste’s incredible performances we know exactly what she feels and is going through at every turn. 

  The entire supporting cast give top-notch performances. The production design and cinematography perfect transmit the stark difference between Pansy and Chantelle in their physical spaces. 

  
  Mike Leigh is and will always be an absolute master.

  Atrocious. Catastrophic. This is what white people think Mexico is like and they were even trying to make it look real. It wasn’t even shot in Mexico. Google translate script and horrible songs. Can’t believe this is a film from the same man who made A Prophet and Rust and Bone.
  The fact that this film will probably receive Oscar nominations makes it even worse. 

  P.S: I will never be convinced Selena Gomez is a good actress.
