La Saison des ouragans

I might have a biased opinion since I haven't read the book so I don't know how faithful the movie is to the source material.

However, judging the movie by itself I think is above the average.

The whole cast did an incredible job, and most of them have from zero to few experience in acting.

The cinematography is visually alluring, and Elisa Miller uses all the technical resources available in order to create a wild atmosphere.

The plot is properly developed, and even though there're a lot of issues mingling between one and another (extreme poverty, ignorance, prostitution, corruption and violence) every story is told enough.
