Son of Monarchs review

Son of Monarchs is a unique, authentic, creative, and a relatable film. It reflects on the issue of immigration, but also engages in a wider conversation about identity, social pressures, culture and the strangeness of the world that we live in today. As a viewer it elicited an inner personal response in me, which I think any viewer that had once questioned how our real world functions will connect to. In my view, one of the best things about this film is that its so relatable, plus it is filled with amazing creative footage and acting performances! Highly recommend it

Finding poetry in science

Threading the needle between metaphor and the scientific method, this unique film lyrically plumbs the science of butterflies to explore the existential dilemma of immigrants who leave home to pursue their dreams and the threat of the modern world on nature and indigenous worldviews and systems of belief. Hard to categorize, the film is unexpected, elusive, enigmatic. Tenoch Huerta's intense minimalist performance is a revelation, like a Latin American Brando. There is magic in the world even in laboratories, and this film will help you see it.

Transporting

A rare movie where the human and non-human worlds intertwine to create a rich, visual tapestry of migration, love and loss.

Strong Story + sound/realistic science

I love movies that combine strong narative elements with sound and realistic scientific facts. Alexis Gambis did this successfully with the fly Room when he told the story of crazy but brilliant scientist Calvin Bridges---he does it again with in his second feature, Sons of Monarchs, which incorporates the themes of immigration, family ties and the sense of belonging. Strong performances, especially from Tenoch Huerta and the other Mexican actors.

A sublime story about identity

Son of Monarchs is a transcendent tale in its innovative form and substance. Its visual poetry is not a formal backdrop. It constitutes the dept of the theme adddressed. Through the mesmerizing images, the microscope observation, the magical panorama of Monarch butterfly sanctuary... we are placed before the unfathomable mysterious complexity of the beauty. It's beauty too.
