Carlos Bonfil La Jornada One of the most disturbing and best structured cartographies of the violence that Mexico has lived since the seventies. [Full Review in Spanish] Oct 22, 2019 Full Review Alfonso Flores-Durón y Martínez En Filme [Julien] Eli at times stops and fixes the camera in scenes that become postcards of evocative beauty. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia By collecting these accounts together and giving them the space to breathe, Dark Suns builds up a disturbing profile of a country which is infested by corruption and greed. Jun 7, 2019 Full Review Musanna Ahmed Film Inquiry Dark Suns is utterly vital and haunting, chronicling a staggering history of crime and injustice that needs urgent attention from any higher-up with a conscience. It's often difficult to stomach, but these stories need to be told. Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Adrian Mack Georgia Straight Shot in luminous black-and-white and edited to perfection, this 154-minute Canadian production might be the definitive take on the subject. May 6, 2019 Full Review Piers Marchant Arkansas Democrat-Gazette So compelling and encompassing is [Julien] Elie's argument, by the end it's impossible to see any way out of the horrific, crime-infested wormhole the country and its citizens have been sucked into.

Audience Member Un documental que logra unir diferentes partes de un rompecabezas pero que como tal, es parte de un todo, que es importante ver y analizar. Si quieres romper la burbuja de la realidad esta película es un golpe de frente contra ella. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member An extraordinary achievement. A truly important film on a subject both terrifying and horrifying. The enormous sweep of the evil perpetrated upon the innocent "Disappeared" fills the viewer with outrage, dread, and inevitable despair. I hope this film finds wider distribution. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
