Think Luis Buñuel spliced with Hieronymus Bosch. Read full review

The film establishes a hypnotic rhythm through razor-stropped editing and a reverberant sound design that later scenes will disrupt with alarming impunity. Read full review

This is dirty, abusive, sticky, heartfelt (?), enlightened (??), intellectual (???), deranged, offensive, damningly provocative filmmaking at its…most…unhinged? Read full review

Viewers expecting a garden-variety horror flick will likely recoil, but those seeking new voices in Mexican cinema may well hail Minter's effort. Read full review

Challenging, daring, provocative, disgusting - We are the Flesh is all those things and then some, but also superbly crafted and always visually compelling. Read full review

Until the thought-provoking, from-left-field twist ending, We Are the Flesh mostly seems like a series of sick tableaux, dredged up from the director’s subconscious and then splattered across the screen. But there’s genuine artistry even to this film’s most exploitative moments. Read full review

For every moment of sick visceral genius (e.g. whenever Hernandez or Evoli are left to their own devices), there’s another of clumsy metaphor (e.g. the limp punchline of the movie’s final minutes). Read full review

I had an opportunity to watch this movie this past weekend. What a pretentious piece of garbage. I couldn't tell you what this movie is about at all.

A brother and sister wandering the wasteland after the end of the world? I don't even know where that was discussed in the film at all. HighI had an opportunity to watch this movie this past weekend. What a pretentious piece of garbage. I couldn't tell you what this movie is about at all.

A brother and sister wandering the wasteland after the end of the world? I don't even know where that was discussed in the film at all. High class, drug induced soft-core porn is the best I can describe. Bizarre from beginning to end, there is no structure, there is no story, there is no sense. Perhaps the purpose of this movie was a depiction of life in Hell? I can tell you that's what the hour and ten minutes felt like for me. Don't believe any of the hype, don't see this movie.… Expand
