Cannes. Drama/Mex.

"An unerring compositional eye plus firm control of an inventive structure keep Drama/Mex well within the attention span, even when the script wanders without seeming to know why," writes Jay Weissberg in Variety of the Critics' Week entry. "In his sophomore feature, helmer Gerardo Naranjo has honed his skills and begun to fulfill the promise he showed with Malachance, crafting a deceptively complex tripartite character study of love, despair and unexpected compassion."

"[D]idn't get the love it deserved," protests Salon's Andrew O'Hehir. "This is a sexy, sultry, sharply observed picture, well worth watching out for."
