Synopsis

Our take

Winner of an Independent Spirit Award, Antonio Méndez Esparza’s second feature is a remarkable portrait of race and class in America. Observing its cast of nonprofessional actors with a documentary-like sense of intimacy, the film balances story and social commentary with great nuance and care.
