I gotta say, point for originality, I've never seen a musical like this. I've also never seen a film in recent years with such a basic depiction of Mexico, and a director with such arrogance. Such a monumental distance from Un Prophet in quality and rigor.

One of the worst films I’ve had the misfortune of watching. It’s such a waste of concept, and a terrible excuse to launch Shyamalan daughter’s career. Her acting gave me such a bad cringe, that I had to shower right after just to get rid of the feeling.

I'm blown away by this film, specially in it's Criterion 4k restoration. The production behind this is monstrous. It's like a close cousin to Fitzcarraldo.

Amazing Cinematography and VFX. It feels like a downgraded platform-made attempt at “Come and See”. Not McQueen’s best

A failed attempt at adapting a book that’s unadaptable. Some good performances that can’t save the film. Leave the spirits of Comala alone.

A relentless depiction of 1900’s colonial brutality. A magnificent cinematography by Simone D’arcangelo. Felipe Gálvez is a talent to follow.

The perfect example of how to ruin a superb idea when you don’t know where the film should end. Such a pity.

A philosophical beauty of a film made when filmmakers had purpose. Spolier: not made with AI.

Larrain’s worst film. How far and distant the originality of Tony Manero feels with this absurdity. Stiff and senseless dialogues are mixed with a sterile critique of Pinochet’s crimes. Edward Lachman’s superb cinematography feels like a complete waste.

An intense portrait of wasted youth and the vortex of living in Paris
