Drama. Thriller In this riveting, suspenseful dystopian drama, a lavish upper-class wedding goes awry in an unexpected uprising of class warfare that gives way to a violent coup d’etat. As seen through the eyes of the sympathetic young bride and the servants who work for- and against- her wealthy family, Nuevo Orden breathlessly traces the collapse of one political system as a more harrowing replacement springs up in its wake.

	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Calling it grim is an understatement (...) Audiences might conceivably be divided on the vicious gut punch of Franco's approach, but as a call for more equitable distribution of wealth and power, it's terrifyingly riveting".	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"This is dynamic cinema which takes no prisoners outside the hostages on screen: loud and violent (...) In that way, it’s quite magnificent – an outlet for those boiling in our times. (...) it’s the content that surprises."	POS
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Playlist	"A brilliantly unflinching look at a society built on extreme disparities that reads more like an omen than a far-fetched fantasy, (...) It guts you with the worst of human nature, like Franco often does, but within a larger sociopolitical scale, and for that, it’s utterly unshakable."	POS
	Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"Michel Franco makes an audacious, unremitting and brutal critique of inequality and its relationship to violence (...) It’s one of those films that it’s hard to say one likes, even though it is superb."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[A] confrontational and deeply cynical look at how a revolution might play out (...) the director demands the public’s attention, launching a full-on assault on our collective comfort zone (...) 'New Order' doesn’t disappoint"	POS
United States	Nicholas Barber IndieWire	"It’s a bold, angry, provocative indictment, but because Franco zooms back to the state-of-the-nation big picture, he loses sight of the characters who were sketched so sharply in the opening scenes"	NEU
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"Ambivalence aside, it works as a kind of gripping apocalyptic horror movie. There are no zombies, but the rich get eaten."	POS
