Although the movie doesn't flinch at presenting a dark and unsavory portrait of a down-and-out slice of humanity, it also detects a glimmer of something more in the characters, nudging the story in the direction of tragedy.
The true story that inspired it raises eyebrows, but those raised eyebrows are all the film provokes, as well. That just isn't enough.
"Come, let us have a drink," says one aging streetwalker to another, "and hate everything and everyone." If that sounds tempting, then Mexican auteur Arturo Ripstein's latest will be right up your dimly lit, trash-strewn alley.
[A] sense of surreality within a mode of social realism (the scenario, believe it or not, was actually inspired by true event) ... gives the movie its off-kilter power.
It's a creepy and beguiling oddity, willfully weird but, at the same time, not quite weird enough.
Ripstein finds dark humor in his characters' diminished expectations, which sag so low they're subterranean.
