BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths

"This one might be kind of a tough sell as it's so slow. It really leaves a lot of downtime for me to think on what it was saying and if I was enjoying it. Those times ARE however all punctuated by something engaging or surreal happening and giving me something new to think about. And there is a lot going into this movie from the main character, Silverio's, life to Mexican history and the current political climate as they are experienced and interpreted by Silverio. As slow as this can be there are times when everything this movie is converge into something truly special. The "Letting go of Mateo" scene at the beach in particular is beautiful, and heartbreaking, and strange, and kind of darkly funny."
