4/10
A movie about a group of men in 1930's Mexico who refuse amnesty and are on the run from the Mexican government, simply because they wish to continue practicing their faith. Billed as an "existentialist Western" (because all slow movies have to be existential), it doesn't really do anything aside from a handful of nice shots and evocative sound design. It's a slow movie that seems to think, by being slow, it doesn't need to do anything else. As someone who likes anti-Westerns, road movies, and slow cinema, this should have been right up my alley, but it left me cold. It reminded me a lot of Albert Serra's Birdsong, but the world doesn't need more than one Birdsong.
