Excelente película, retrata muy bien la realidad de miles de infantes en méxico, deja claro que los mayores horrores no necesriamente tienen que ver con lo paranormal.
An excellent movie. It has the magical realism of a Del Toro film. This reminds me a lot of the Devil's Backbone, but set in Mexico with the destruction of the drug cartels. A truly moving movie.
Beautiful, sad, and scary in a way you wouldn’t expect.
Loved it. Stunning, sad, beautiful, gruesome. Reminds me a lot of Pan's Labyrinth.
Great movie
