If it feels a little woozy and directionless at times, the sweat-stained, grubby aesthetic and sudden explosions of violence mean that it is never dull.

Remezcla

Set in a picturesque coastal town in Mexico, the trio meets a series of terrible events through an almost experimental, unpolished style in this stunning colorful 16mm film.

The Hollywood Reporter

After a potent first half-hour, the narrative comes alive more fitfully, making Kokoloko easier to admire than to be swept up by.

Kokoloko is an unlikely travelogue since so much of the story involves mayhem and murder, but the 16mm imagery is a pleasure to behold.
