Very Underrated

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2018)

I personally like this film, though I can see why others wouldn't. It is slow with some violence and discusses religion heavily.
One thing that I love about this movie is that it's very, very aesthetically authentic. I watch it sometimes just to see the andalusian horses and mules, the natives that aren't actors and the beautiful locations that aren't set pieces but REAL places. I have never seen a film that looked so... genuine. Ever.
The Mission does take awhile to pull you into the plot but once you're there, you'll find yourself waiting to see what unfolds with bated breath.
I would recommend this movie to the thinkers and open-minded; there is a lot to learn from the events that unfold in this tragedy.
