"I've been a fan of Brazilian cinema since the boom that followed City of God in the early 2000's and in recent years sadly distribution has been lacking. To show my support I did a blind buy on this from Kino Lorber and it just didn't work for me. It kind of departs from traditional Brazilian film storytelling in favor of something more allegorical, more Bunuel. On the one hand I could see why this got such warm reviews as it is very leftfield and different, but I found it to be a bit of a mess "
"First viewing - May 22nd Showtime Once again my habit of going into films blindly pays off handsomely. Bacurau starts off slowly, but once it reveals where it's going it hardly lets up. There could maybe be a little more depth to the characters, but what we get works well enough & everything else is solid. I'll be returning to this one again."
