Eliu, a country boy, is incarcerated in an experimental young offenders institution, deep in the heart of the Colombian tropical forest, for a crime he committed with his friend El Mono. Every day, the teenagers perform hard manual labour and endure intense group therapy, under the menacing gaze of the camp guard Godoy. One day, El Mono is transferred to the same center and with him comes the past that Eliu is trying to escape.

In Review Online

La Jauría is a gorgeous, hypnotic film, one where memorable images sometimes repeat, imbuing the film with a kind of monotony that remains gripping.

Nicholas Bell

IONCINEMA.com

A strong ensemble of first time actors bolster two lead performers whose characters seem fated to ruin, and there’s a sweaty, brooding ambience suggesting a William Goldman styled dystopia hurtling toward implosion.

Rated: 3/5

Jonathan Holland

Screen International

Mashes up potent atmospherics with thriller and classical tragedy elements into a brooding, troubling whole, supplying a fresh, sensitive and thoughtful perspective on the cinema of Latin American gang culture.
