As violent as MUNGIU's 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days or After Lucia (by the same author), Michel FRANCO weaves a dark fabric of youth & Mexican crimes and their appalling consequences. Sharp-cutting.== Aussi violent que 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days (MUNGIU) ou After Lucia (son film suivant), Michel FRANCO tisse une toile sombre des crimes & de la jeunesse mexicaine & de leurs effroyables conséquences. Glaçant. Tranchant.

Matt Richards's rating of the film Daniel & Ana

Based on the true story of a brother and sister carjacked and forced to have sex with each other on camera to feed the underground porn market. Shame keeps them silent as they attempt to come to terms with what happened. Great premise that deserved more than a one dimensional look at post traumatic stress. The film really lags after the event and only seems to get moving in the last 20 mins. 2 stars.

VENIMOS LOS JODIMOS Y NOS FUIMOS's rating of the film Daniel & Ana
VENIMOS LOS JODIMOS Y NOS FUIMOS

Bienintencionada,sin duda.Sin embargo,esta denuncia en contra de la pornografia clandestina y de las consecuencias sentimentales y psicologicas que acarrea hacia sus victimas,en este caso,una pareja de hermanos,se siente forzada,superficial, y lo peor,deja muchos cabos sueltos. Sin embargo,su buena factura permite recomendarla. Haberla visto en el Cinemex Antara debiò darle un valor participe/turistico al asunto.

Warning. This film deals with extreme subject matter. The movie is not about the event, but the aftermath, the PTSD, and how it can warp your mind.

ADZERTY's rating of the film Daniel & Ana
ADZERTY

Film dans la sobriété d'un Elephant - froid, tout en extériorité- ce qui rend tangible et palpable le poids qui pèse dans l'esprit des malheureux protagonistes : les faits ne sont pas faciles à mettre en scène et la plus grande pudeur s'impose. Fallait-il cependant filmer le coït ? J'aurais préféré qu'il soit évoqué, tout en présence-absence, le spectateur ne comprenant qu'in fine ce qui s'est passé.

Guión diferente, al igual que otras películas, siento muy forzadas en lo exagerado algunas situaciones, no obstante no deja de ser ominosamente buena de ver

I agree with what's already been said about 'Daniel y Ana', but I gave it one extra star, as I find it truly daring how the director treated this subject in a non-exploitative manner, and at the same time allowing a buñuelesque reading (hidden desires, etc.) of one of the main characters' bizarre behaviour.

The horrifying real-life premise was treated with surprising dignity and the detached performances were chillingly believable after the main event.
