[García Bernal] has evolved his craft substantially, even if the progress fails to yield a fully formed and tonally cohesive outcome.

Rated: 2/4

The insurmountable flaws baked in to Augusto Mendoza's screenplay leave a sour taste after the adrenaline subsides.

I get nothing but fatigue watching 'Chicuarotes', the second film as director of Gael García Bernal. It's insufferable. [Full review in Spanish]

From someone who was raised and lived in latin america till the age of 12, I thought this movie captured very well the reality in the poor areas; the danger, violence, the struggle to survive, how the experiences turn down the emotions of the people, the rituals... I felt transported back in time. Realistic 100%. Very well done.
