This film not only reflects a harsh reality that is lived in some parts of Mexico, but also has a narrative that captures your attention.

Most Mexican films that portray a harsh reality of the country are slow and very interpretive, which can be negative or positive for the public, but this film has an easy-to-digest narrative that keeps us attentive to what will happen next, in addition to not rambling and developing the characters extensively. This story is raw and shocking, something that many Mexican families live, with a narrative that people can connect with the film, of course there are some things that are left to interpretation but they are very few. The characters are well developed and the performances are phenomenal, the quality of this movie seems like Hollywood, compared to the movies that are used to made in Mexico, since most of them look very cheap. The ending is interpretive, I liked that since it is an artistic aspect of the film.

I do not want to say much about the plot since each twist is shocking and unexpected, the director knows how to capture a story with a good narrative that is not boring and that at the same time has a good development and represents a reality without preaching the audience.
