    Powerful

    Mexico's official entry to 2022's Oscars is simple and slow-paced yet so emotional and tough. The story is heartbreaking, moving, flows smoothly and delivers so much feelings without any forced efforts. Performances are solid and real. Cinematography is stunning. It's not everyone's cup of tea though.
