Besides its really cool locations and nice panoramic presentation, not much more that you can save from this.

Its plot feels completely deceptive and not in a good sense. It does not feel like the result of something that Sen is looking for but rather a lack of clarity in the writing process, jumping from a detective thriller to family drama quite suddenly and unnaturally.

The film has a way too long introduction for Vicky Krieps’ character, who otherwise does a great performance, and unnecessary focus on her family issues which seem to look for an inexplicable empathy towards her despising character.

Otherwise, the movie does not start to pick up steam until the appearance of Mike Wilson and the look at the indigenous and migrant reality at the Mexican border.

Darkly funny at times, its premise (a member of the Srpska army looks for the pardon of his first victim) and setting (a dating event) are quietly ingeniously put together.

Nevertheless the tension does not feel like it gets fully built and its climax seems underemphasised.
