Without telling me you know nothing about surrealism...
I understand that this kind of movies are not for everybody, but the scores of 1 or 2 stars just show the ignorance of the viewers.
If you have read the book, or know about surrealism in general or latinamerican magical realism in particular, you will greatly enjoy this movie!
Acting is great, photography is stunning, production is just beautiful and the original material (Juan Rulfo's work) is treated with respect.
The story telling will keep envolving you in this dreamy (or nightmarish?) fable, but If you want to see a hollywood linear blockbuster, better look somewhere else.

I don't know, because I dont know the book.
I also dont understand the bad reviews, as the show is very entertaining.
Yes, it is slow paced but it helps to focus in all the different characters, which the actors portray magnificently.
I was particularly surprised by Omar Chaparro, who I only knew as comedian. Really good performance.
The rest of the cast was perfect and the actors fit perfectly togheter.
The setting and art was also very well cared.
It indeed has mexicanisms, but also, is playing in Mexico form an adapted Argentinian work.
I recomend it a lot, is not a thriller, is a drama showing the ugly face of all latinAmerica's pretty rich.
