I think the only scene that felt a bit much for me personally was that Mateo scene. You know, that one. Otherwise I just enjoyed the movie full-stop.

I do wonder if the movie would've hit the same way if I hadn't spent as much time in Mexico over the last few years, though. The desaparecidos scene hit me like a ton of bricks but I can see it going over the heads of a lot of people who don't know this issue.

I feel like this happens with many of the themes of the movie, if you're not Mexican or at least don't know a bit of their history and culture and haven't been to México, it won't make the same sense.
