La Llorona

"A quiet movie that shudders with spiritual trauma."

"A slow burn leading to events that are more emotional than explosive."

"With precise framing, compositional flair and a steady hand, Bustamante layers the story, adding daubs that suggest rather than explain."

"It's not just a creepy story, but a painful reflection of injustice."

"What stands out about the film is the pain that lies underneath Bustamante's placid compositions..."

"[A] taut, effective new horror film."

"Smart and elegant..."

"Bustamante's La Llorona is a bold assertion of the embedded prejudice against indigenous populations..."
