When the contractors send in thugs to intimidate the community, the neighbors leave one by one, but Domingo refuses to give in, especially as the land hides a special and mystical secret...

The pace of Domingo And The Mist feels almost too leisurely at times, but it gives ample time for reflection and it looks gorgeous -- credit to cinematographer Nicolás Wong Díaz here. Performances are subtle but strong: Ureña has a quiet, humble dignity.

The Upcoming

Despite Domingo’s precarious situation, there are no real stakes or any urgency to events as they become more pressing.

While [the film] offers few concrete resolutions across its runtime, it nevertheless achieves a difficult balancing act of reality and allegory, thanks in no small part to Meza’s careful and confident handling of his own, admittedly somewhat light script.

Caimán Cuadernos de Cine

Well shot, and well acted, but nothing shines in a way to make it special, or leave us with the air of novelty. [Full review in Spanish]
