Martel’s critical examination extends to the filmmaker’s position as a storyteller. There’s a heavy awareness of her and her camera’s presence throughout the events as fellow strangers mining a product from this land.

Lucrecia Martel turns the murder of Javier Chocobar into a powerful examination of colonialism, land rights, and Indigenous resistance. A challenging, deeply necessary documentary elevated by her masterful use of sound and space.

...if there's one thing you can never say about the film, it's that it's dense in a bad way. On the contrary, it's intriguing, absorbing, and even unexpectedly funny at times. [Full review in Spanish]
