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.
