In a timeless México, women are disappearing, and a girl who is called Huck wears a mask to disguise her gender while she helps her addicted father take care of an abandoned baseball camp.

Would that "Buy Me a Gun" had been more firmly inspired by its picaresque structure.

David Ehrlich

IndieWire

This extraordinary movie doesn't need another second of screen time to illustrate how violence continues to reflect the indifference of those who try to harness it for themselves.

Rated: B+

Todd McCarthy

The Hollywood Reporter

Trades on the perilous extremes of life in lawless territory that makes the Old West look tame, but the benign and shallow dramatic treatment increasingly drains viewer patience.

A resonant and devastating film that doesn't fall into manipulative ploys like so many other stories about the Mexican strife. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3.5/5

THN

The world that Cordon has developed is undoubtedly interesting and feels like it has great potential to present a violent landscape that while fictional is still grounded in the reality of the violent gang culture in Mexico.

Rated: 3/5

La Jornada

Hernández Cordón's film promised at least a greater dose of poetry and narrative coherence. It's a promising title for a very uneven result. [Full Review in Spanish]
