Rodrigo Sorogoyen's As Bestas
There’s not a film in the past decade that’s more effectively played with escalating and deescalating tension, though, beyond that, what I found most compelling about As Bestas were the layers and layers of philosophical inquiries, each lurking just beneath the surface of the story, asking morally confounding question after morally confounding question about male intimidation, the rights of natives versus those of expatriates, and the personal sacrifices we make in our relationships.
