Formally thrilling and narratively daring, Bacurau draws on modern Brazilian sociopolitical concerns to deliver a hard-hitting, genre-blurring drama.

Survival classic The Most Dangerous Game gets a nod from this thriller by Kleber Mendonca Filho (Neighboring Sounds) and Juliano Dornelles, and so does the sci-fi horror genre. Sep 11, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

"Bacurau" defies simple descriptions. Mixing action, adventure, drama, mystery, horror, and sci-fi, there's few roads this film doesn't opt to at least partially explore. Oct 14, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…
