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.

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.

Transporting

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

A journey of flight, growth, and understanding.

Starting with flashbacks from childhood, two brothers emerge from childhood, markedly different. Trauma, guilt, stories, histories, unspoken truths, lead to different lives, both marked by the past. How they move forward in life and in their family comes to unfold, much as the metamorphosis that is studied by one brother. Lyrical, leisurely, mystical, elegant. A flight of fancy well told. Time well spent.

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.
