I went to see this film with my husband and we were both devastated but also utterly entranced. We feel nothing but admiration and awe for this incredible feat of resurrection of a forgotten artist who deserves enormous recognition. Q Lazzarus was an extraordinary woman and Aridjis-Fuentes tells her story with great elegance and respect. Apart from being a compelling portrait of an artist and of a woman with a personality and presence larger than anything you could ever imagine, it is a complex and layered portrait, not always favorable, of American society. May Q's story and transcendent voice become a part of our lives, may she forever be an inspiration.

My husband and I watched this film recently and were both completely mesmerized! It is strange and eerie in the best of ways, and you have no idea where it's going while you're watching. From the creepy first scene, the entire atmosphere is captivating-- stunning landscapes and weird architectural interiors-- and it's a beauty cinematically too. We loved the locations in Chiapas and we thought the script was fantastic too. The soundtrack by JG Thirlwell was appropriately beguiling. Would highly recommend, not only to people in search of psychological horror movies, which this excelled at. Loved it!
