8.5/10
Carlos Reygadas' Silent Light has been on my to-watch list forever, and now it's been bumped up several spots after seeing his new one, Post Tenebras Lux. It's taking something of a critical and commercial beating and, indeed, it's not really for everyone. It has its share of moments that are flat-out baffling and push the bounds of ridiculousness. It also has moments of extreme beauty and as a whole can't really be compared to anything I've ever seen before except in inspired in me the same feelings I've had watching Aipitchatpong Weerasethakul's "magic realism". I'm still debating just how much I liked it but either way, it'll be with me for a long time.
