Maybe I'm so disappointed cause everyone sells Michel Franco as one of the best directors of his time. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is a bad movie, that's it, the story could've been read from the local newspaper, no need to make a movie just to watch an actress without clothes, it seems that Michel Franco directed this movie only to feed his morbid curiosity of doing a pornographic movie. Bad acting + bad photography = bad director. In the first. The first scenes are super tedious, showing a unrealistic boring life. Mexico City offers much more than what they portray, there's no caos in that city. The incongruous and unreal scenarios, playing with the theory of how people from organized crime use you is near stupidity, it's like filming criminal theories that we would like to happen, but the harsh reality is not like that, reality surpasses fiction, and if you are not willing to project the harsh reality it is better not to announce the story as a real fact. People who have been victims of crimes of this type must be very angry to see this, no one has been as lucky as these characters, this story is unreal, you can ask any kidnapping victim.
