Summary: While protests rage in the streets, Marianne’s high society family prepares for her wedding.

It is at times a terrifically uncomfortable movie to watch. But director Michel Franco's New Order, a searing and relentlessly grim indictment of class division and government corruption, scans not only as possible but entirely likely given our current world. Heavy doesn’t begin to describe it. Read full review

If good intentions or even pragmatism aren’t enough to make the wealthy and powerful think about income inequality, New Order suggests, there’s always fear. Read full review

New Order recalls 2019’s Oscar-winning Parasite, but unlike that film’s superficial rich-people-bad/Quentin-Tarantino-good message, this one is far more grounded, both in reality and genuinely original thinking. Read full review

If you believe cinema’s job is to ask the questions rather than offer the answers, then this will usefully challenge you. A dirty fingernail stuck right into the open wound of our unspoken social anxieties. Read full review

Franco practically dares the viewer to call his conclusion far-fetched. And for better or worse, the director’s dynamic filmmaking makes some of his projections stick. Read full review

Sep 16, 2020

The relevance of Franco’s message is undeniable, but his handling of it is reckless and just muddles his themes in the pursuit of appearing intellectual. Read full review

If nothing else, New Order demonstrates that the line that separates festival-lauded arthouse films from crass exploitation fare can be very thin indeed. Read full review

Retrato de lo que podría suceder algún día? No sé, pero la trama es dura como caramelo rompe muelas e incomoda como silla de piedra, con escenas de violencia nada gratuitas que no son para todos los gustos. Algo de lo mejor hecho en el cine mexicano.

Dystopian, extremist, ruthless, cruel, sadistic, cynical, superficial, simplistic, schematic, anarchist: critics struggled to find an appropriate label for Franco. I would propose misanthrope: rich, poor, masters, servants, privileged, exploited, powerful, weak, military are indiscriminately corrupt in humanitas even before their wallet, united by a primordial violence that the director is interested not in explaining but in showing in detail. The new order of nihilistic single thought has found another cantor.… Expand

Oh look, Mexican Parasite. The worst kind of disaster bait. It looks to justify violence because of money.

One of the worst films i've ever seen, so racist and classist. The fact that there are people who are willing to finance this type of films...

The fears of the rich people in Mexico: Social struggles and losing their privilege. It offers nothing but gratuitous violence, a weak script, bad acting and lots of classism.

La pelicula es clasista y racista, tambien exagera con las situaciones de protesta y de corrupcion. La historia esta tan mal escrita y dirigida que es un desastre y nadie entiende que esta pasando. Michel Franco muestra de manera superficial los problemas de nuestro país y shock exagerado y morboso, muy morboso... tal vez tenga muchos premios y reconocimiento pero eso no lo hace buena pelicula, si apenas esta lejos de ser una mala pelicula de por si. Pesima pelicula, director ignorante y lo unico que puedo decir bueno de esta pelicula, es que intento hacer algo diferente. De paso les digo que si quieren ver este tipo de peliculas con temas sociales y politicos vean las de Luis Estrada (especificamente La Dictadura Perfecta) combina eso con un buen humor acido y que muestran un transfondo de toda la situacion en vez de caos por ahi y por alla como la porqueria de Nuevo Orden.… Expand
