This slick, serious-minded tale of upper-crust vigilantes protecting their gated community at any cost is a nihilistic but thoughtful portrait of a country divided .
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Overview
Residents of an enclosed neighborhood in the middle of Mexico DF are shocked by a violent crime, and for one resident in particular, young Alejandro, the drama is ratcheted up when he encounters the lone kid who escaped the event and is hiding out within the neighborhood's borders.

Some may sniff at director Rodrigo Pla's deliberately exaggerated style, but it makes no pretensions to authenticity. Indeed, it's just audacious enough to work -- like Crash reimagined by Rod Serling.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture

Signals another promising discovery in a film industry that is definitely coming into its own golden age.
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

An impressive feature debut that sweeps the viewer into the horrors of vigilante justice
