A portrait of a subculture whose members take pride in walking their kids to the penitentiary's pre-K class.

Part meticulous character study, part hyperrealist drama...

Although it is not a comedy, Lion's Den is suffused with sense of life lived in the present. Even the grimmest moments are not exploited to instill fear and loathing.

The dimly lit, exquisitely composed cinematography, by Guillermo Nieto, adds to the draw of this highly recommended movie.

The results are mixed -- a handful of moments of genuine, undeniable power, interspersed with a fair number of listless scenes.
