La Llorona

This is a fantastic film. Watch it. The blurb does a great job of setting it up so I won't risk spoilers.

For people uncomfortable with horror films, this isn't that kind of horror movie. It's slow boil without jump scares and gore.

From a language point of view ... you don't get much spanish for the 97 minutes. About half the dialogue is in Mayan(?), so be sure to turn on forced spanish subtitles. The other half is spoken in mumbles over the drums and chants of the protestors camped outside the house, ... and that's when there is dialogue. There may be more spanish in the closing credits while the song "la llorona" is playing, I say only half in jest.

And, alas, all those drums and shouts and chants do make it surprisingly hard to understand what is otherwise fairly simple and straightforward spanish.

Still, watch it.
