A journey that's at once similar to and entirely different from any Diaz itinerary you may yet have experienced.

The film gains in raw power what it lacks in the director's usual poetry.

Critically Acclaimed Podcast

Diaz indulges in his most nihilistic fantasies, presenting us with a fable about the horrors of the human heart. Which, indeed, provides its own type of depressive thrill.

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

Diaz shoots scenes in often unnervingly clever ways, using wide frames to put characters in context with each other and their environment.

Rated: 3.5/5

Andres' recounting of what became of his companions elicits another layer of Diaz's play with narrative.

The film also appears to find Diaz coming to loggerheads with his own ideas, and contesting history through quasi-scientific projection.
