While some of the apparitions and strange events seem mystical or paranormal in nature, others are very real, especially when residents begin experiencing damage to property and unexplained deaths. Throw in the activities of sport hunters, a crooked politician and a wanted fugitive, and you've got quite a mix of volatility that's unveiled ever so meticulously and gradually in order to retain viewer interest by preserving the mystery as long as possible. The film's excellent cinematography, splashes of campy humor and classic good vs. evil narrative elements make for an entertaining couple of hours. Be forewarned, though, that the picture is quite violent at times, but it never becomes wantonly gratuitous outside its context (even though sensitive viewers may wish to take a pass). Available for first run online streaming, this Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize winner is a grand old time at the show, even virtually.… Expand

The movie scares when we never think this will happen. The Director's direction is a really different type of tell this story, the actors shows all emotions and surprise faces that surprises who are watching! A Masterpiece.

One of the best movies I have ever seen. This is not an ameritrash movie, so do not expect trash romances and trash action.

obra prima sem precedentes. infelizmente o brasileiro tá tão acostumado com a produção norte-americana que automaticamente coloca defeito em tudo do seu próprio país. direção magistral do kleber, atuações memoráveis, enfim, 10/10.

One of the best movies I've ever seen. The culture, the history and the multiethnic actors get everything better. BRAZIL ❤️

Bacurau já é um dos clássicos do cinema nacional, Glauber Rocha estaria orgulhoso.

Wow! A crazy scenario, characters more strong than the others, a crescendo from which we do not come out unscathed. It's Tarantinao!

I've seen this compared to both Jodorowsky and Lione, and it certainly rings true. I like Bacurao and it's people and you can't help but root for them when everything, everyone, and everywhere else has not only forsaken it, but stripped itI've seen this compared to both Jodorowsky and Lione, and it certainly rings true. I like Bacurao and it's people and you can't help but root for them when everything, everyone, and everywhere else has not only forsaken it, but stripped it and tried to sell it to the highest bidder. There's nothing really of value in Bacurau, but it's honor, and it satisfyingly defends it with extreme prejudice. I Iike this place.

All that said, where it fails is its villains. They are stupid and nonsensical, and that hurts the film. We never really get any depth for them. We don't have a clue why they do what they do. It just makes them comical and not in a good way.… Expand
