Derek Smith Slant Magazine As one of the quintessential cabaretera films from the golden age of Mexican cinema, Victims of Sin moves at the quickening pace of the Afro-Cuban rumba dances we witness throughout. Jul 5, 2024 Full Review J. Hoberman Artforum A tumultuous product of Mexican cinema's Golden Age, the movie is a perfect storm, the confluence of three huge talents.

Audience Member The real star is the cinematography. Exquisite and evocative. Sevilla is a marvel to behold, and the camera and light/shadows are used to magnificent effect in one-shots and crowd scenes, especially in the cantina, The Changoo. But Fernandez takes 40 minutes to get to the point, muddies around for 30 minutes, and then wraps the whole story in 3 minutes flat. For sheer artistry it falls far short of masters like Bracho and Bunuel. I’d watch Caudillo or Young and The Damned for true storytelling in this era. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
