WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In Mexico, a lavish high-society wedding is brutally interrupted by a working-class uprising, which in turn forces a military takeover of the country that spells trouble for everyone…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Michel Franco’s brutish dystopian thriller sets up class warfare that goes beyond the mere protest, in a film that has generated some controversy in its native Mexico for its potentially harmful depictions of different classes, but delivers such a heavy gut-punch that any misconceptions going in will instantly melt away.
