Swept away from the first scene

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2015)

I saw this film in my favourite London cinema last night, but sat down not really knowing what to expect. Part of the reason I went was to support my fellow countryman - Denis Villneuve.
Within seconds of the opening credits I was swept away.I found the movie speaks to the political uncertainties of today. The acting performances of the 4 central characters were excellent.
Finally, this movie is definitely not one that would make Mexico look like a tourist destination. Having visited Mexico for the first time this March - to the Guadalajara Film Festival I must say that I can't wait to go back.
This movie is another example of the excellent talent coming from or inspired by Mexico
