    ★★★★

    Beautiful and mournfull documentary about climate change and polution. In a very artful and patient way, without explaining too much, just by showing the struggle of the people and the turtles of Cape Verde, illustrates the state of our nature.

    An anti social juvenile delinquent gets pulled into the underworld. Gritty social satire brimming with energy and controlled chaos that really tries to put the finger on something rotten in German society of the 70s, and does so with abundance of style. Despite some questionable acting and ragged storytellong I can't get over how good and tight but still appropriatly grimy the film looks. No wonder Paul Verhoeven stole the DP and editor.

    Leave it to a Mexican to make the most fucked up zombie family drama.

    Works surpisingly well in the more intimate moments that focussing on the main characters issues, but overreaches when it tries to be an epic crime movie. When the director/screenwriter would have been comfortable to let go of his direct influences, there could have been more here. Especially the big heist scene, all though brilliantly staged, felt at war with the more intimate story it initially tries to tell. Also, the treatment of the female character (yes, singular!) is dissappointingly undercooked. But this is a boy's story after all...
