Border

I found this compelling as I watched it, though I don't feel I gained much from the experience.

Like a mating between the mind of David Cronenberg and something that crawled out of a compost heap.

The film huddles closely around a personality whose courage and determination invite great empathy.

There are bits of everything in here: gender studies, fairytales, myth and sci-fi. It's profoundly preposterous, but delivered at all times with a deliciously straight face.

The strangeness in this film writhes like bacteria.

Here is a story that upturns all the usual questions, never mind the traditional or notional answers.

The mysteries of Border reveal themselves slowly from here, but each one ratchets up the film's stakes in a delightful manner.

You ain't never seen nothing like it, folks. Hell you ain't never thought anything like it.

A great film with a great script that question if it is necessary the social reproduction of our societies. [Full review in Spanish]

Border is without question one of the most rewarding cinematic experiences of 2018 and a film you absolutely, unequivocally will not forget about in the near future.
