I saw the 7.0 score and decided to see this movie. I like documentaries and thought I'd be getting some understanding of the gods of Mexico. Nope, none of that here.
This was one of the kinds of movies that could end at any point and the end feeling and understanding would be the same. I hate that type of movie. Basically there is no story and no point. I thought it was interesting in the closing credits that they gave someone credit for dialogue or script as there was no dialogue. No one said anything. One time it showed a man dancing to a tune on some kind of radio. Another time a coyote could be heard howling. There was zero instance of people talking.
I'd say if you are interested in seeing a black and white photographic journey of unusual natural formations in Mexico, this is your film. Just don't expect to get any information about those formations, such as what most documentaries offer like, where this was, what the formation was, etc.

Some good moments, some moments that left me breathless, some scary moments and some sad moments. All in all a slice of life in rural current day France where a lot of sadness occurs. And then in the end, life goes on with no resolution but a sad outcome.
The movie is well done and all the actors are great, beautiful scenery, learning about cheesemaking and cow birth, all interesting. That said, when it was over, I was left with a melancholy feeling and wondered if it was time well spent. That's why I gave it a 6 rating instead of a 7. It was well done but wasn't worth my time? That is the question.
