About
You may like this if you’re drawn to tense, emotionally harsh dramas with political undercurrents, especially if Peppermint Frappé or Cría Cuervos worked for you; Not for you if animal violence or relentlessly bleak conflict is a dealbreaker.
Pros: gripping slow-burn tension; harsh, memorable atmosphere; sharp psychological conflict | Cons: upsetting animal violence; bleak unpleasant characters; deliberately slow start
