Conceived six years ago, Michel Franco's near-future dystopia feels ripped from headlines that haven't yet been written. While protests rage in the streets, Marianne's high society family prepares for her wedding. At first, only splatters of green paint and the appearance of Rolando, a former employee seeking emergency medical funds, intrude on the festivities. But soon the party is unable to keep the reckoning at bay, and what follows is a swift disintegration of law and order defined first by class lines, then by disastrous government recapitulation.

Critics Consensus

Despite solid performances, New Order's merciless brutality and unfocused gaze threaten to derail its message.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

A fascinating, stylish, uncompromising thriller for all its repugnant prejudices: punk rock movie-making for the ruling elite.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

New Order very effectively persuades you that a real-life revolution might well be every bit as ugly, horrifying and un-Hollywood as this shows - and that it is on the way.

Rated: 4/5

Little White Lies

The refusal of hope is offset by a lack of platitudes, making this an antidote to complacency.

Rated: 4/5

Once again, here's filmmaking bearing witness to what may happen, has happened, or will happen, in a totalizing cinematographic experience that resonates long after viewing. [Full review in Spanish]

Instead of being suggestive and sticking to entertainment, this film is dark and is more focused on telling the truth and showing it all.

Vague Visages

By the time Franco joins together strands that the audience will most likely have seen coming, New Order grinds to a halt.

wow. I haven't read any of the reviews or commentary of the film as I want to share my unique thoughts. This movie disturbed me more than any other film I've seen, in a good way. Everything that has happened in America in the past few years this movie is a cautionary tale to say the least.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Political criticism delivered with unrelenting brutality. Begins slow and ends with "wtf did i just watch?" impression. Nice movie for date night.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Horrible movie. It is realistic with a sadistic touch. It was our first time in a movie theatre after one year and a half and it felt horrible. Don’t recommend. Wanted to throw up afterwards.
