Critic Reviews for El Bruto (The Brute)

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (1)

Bunuel, for the first time in his life, was busy earning a decent living by turning out popular comedies and melodramas for Latin American audiences and, occasionally, making films of real distinction. El Bruto is not one of these.

a Frankenstein variant as the title character is physically as strong as the cattle he slaughters, yet the gentle soul remains vulnerable to the charms of women
