Some Be (2022)
4/10
Slow, Philosophical
1 January 2024
A contemplative post-apocalyptic zombie drama from Mexico. We follow two survivors as they meet and travel together, although they do not go far.

There is a fairly strong eco-message. One character is a vegetarian, who berates the other for eating meat, and for suggesting a human virus could be the 'end of everything', pointing out that Earth predates humans and will be around after we are gone.

The pace is very slow - in real life they might not encounter zombies for hours at a time, but an audience needs more. The characters don't seem interested in arming themselves for defence, or even finding food. The survivor count drops very quickly.

A good-looking film, but with minimal character development and little action. Sound is absent or overwhelming. Not enough to hold my attention, even for its short runtime.
