This movie is a piece of art. Frame by frame you can clearly see Amat Escalante's and his team dedication.
The script is the best I have seen in any Mexican film. Beautifully captures the life in a broken country, where people can't go with the police and ask for help, where drug lords are the ones that run the government and people work all day to live a miserly life.
As a classical melody, the film moves slowly, giving you quiet strings at the beginning, some strong percussions in the middle and, in the end, just a piano playing sad arpeggios.
I hope to see more Mexican filmmakers develop projects like this in the future.
