Michael J The film style was great and very artistic but the plot was very stagnant throughout. The film lacked any character development and the climax was nonexistent Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Jason R An important, but not great, film https://uberscaryblog.blogspot.com/2023/03/hes-not-from-here-he-wouldnt-understand.html Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Crocodilo Russo de Combate Nice photography, beautiful scenery, sad story because it is something real. Simple and impactful plot. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Tom G This is an oustanding film. The child acting is the best I've ever seen. I would rank this a ten out of five if I could. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review s r A well made drama that shows the influence of cartels and police in a small Mexican village based around a young girl coming of age and her single mother. I felt that this followed the trend of modern "objectivity" films and it really tries not to cast judgement. Alternatively, I was more fascinated by the cartel and their interactions with the police and how those affected the village. Awareness of the tragedy and criminality of those situations would have more of a societal impact and could affect change. Instead, we were exposed to tragic situations without information leaving me feeling frustrated with the limited scope. It was on Netflix. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review isla s This is quite a moving film (as in poignant) which gives a good insight into the life of a female adolescent (Ana) suddenly in a war setting while living with her mum at home. It makes for some sobering viewing - we're given a good idea of some circumstances which Ana is shielded from and for reasonable reasons. Its hard not to feel sorry for her. I thought Marya Membreno gave a great performance as the protagonist - her vulnerability really showing well. This film doesn't shy away from things, although its not gartuitously violent, it suggests unpleasant practices, such as I assume FGM, so its not a film to be watched with an entirely sensitive or youngish audience I suppose. I thought it was a well made film, there's enough balance between thoughtful dialogue, character development and plot development. I would recommend this film, yes - it has a chilling feel to it at points and, as I say, not in a tacky way - I can't imagine not being compassionate towards Anas situation, hoping for the best for her.
