    Esta película se siente en la carne. No es solo que esté basada en hechos reales, es que le da nombre a lo que no debería ser nombrado.

    Cada aspecto es increíble: las actuaciones, la música, la fotografía. El soundtrack es una maravilla, lo he estado escuchando sin parar desde que la vi. Y la imagen… no sé cómo explicarlo, pero los colores son tangibles, distintos. Se sienten espesos, pastosos, como si pudieras tocarlos con la…
