PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"Grimly persuasive sophomore feature from Mexican writer-helmer-producer Michel Franco (...) Rigorous arthouse styling and deliberate pace" (Charles Gant: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"Austerity and rigorous control are his signature notes, with an unflinching realism (...) The film has undeniable impact because the intensity and sobriety of Franco’s focus make the story's ugliness inescapable." (David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter) ----------------------------------------
