Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Intense Spanish-language feature debut intrigues but doesn't quite gel.

fresh:
Fukunaga paints better outside the lines, working with cinematographer Adriano Goldman to offer vivid shots of the poverty and despair cutting through Latin America.

Sin Nombre is pure filmmaking: a great story told in beautiful images.

fresh:
The actors, particularly Flores, have a documentary reality about them. Their reactions to most of their predicaments, even the ones given away too easily by the script, are real in the most human sense.

fresh:
It's a tribute to the visceral impact of the staging that the film retains its grip despite becoming somewhat predictable, while thematically it's the usual cycle-of-violence hand wringing.
