Well, the above reviewer beat me to my warning: If you are some god forsaken film student, or "Hollywood" film buff, you will hate this film. The structure is open and allows for a great deal on viewer interpretation that most US film goers hate, and even fear. But I love, I love the director giving me images and direction, and then letting fill in some inferences and this not clearly delineated.The film makes excellent cinematic use of cultural and social cyphers, and (I hate to say this almost for fear of "tainting" it; a slight magical realism to cast a wide net of meaning, not to tell some stupid plot arc formula. It is a brilliant, exciting, deeply satisfying movie (finally some one is talking abt these issues cinematically, and making a great movie), and I even found it fun. A well crafted daring film.

Wow . . . wow! Fantastically well done, smartly written story, with a punch. On so many levels, this transcends merely being a "sci-fi" story. Never have seen Alex Rivera's work before, or even heard of this film until now (Nov, 2015), but he deserves my respect for how this was directed and put together. For all of the fluffy comic book crap that gets perpetually pumped out of Hollywood, which is like polluting your mind with neural donuts, here's an example of filmcraft done exactly right.No over the top gratuitous CGI, or crazy sex and violence just to fill up screen time, but just a really well told story, that makes you think, and peer into a near future realm which is not at all that implausible.Leonor Varela is an interesting actress, but Luis Pena absolutely spot on delivers his character. 10 stars? In a heartbeat!

This movie was excellent and entirely not boring. It gave me chills at certain points. If you know anything about the privatization of water you will overly enjoy this movie. This is a take on how people are not connected to each other anymore and our ignorance/negligence helps large corporations/governments take us over and control us. The movie states a problem and brings about a touching solution with the help of well developed characters.If you're a movie snob and can't get a useful message out of this film you didn't deserve to waste your money on it..Watch this movie knowing that not a lot of money was spent on it.. It's not a 150 million dollar budgeted movie.. it used 2.5 million. I think Donnie Darko used about the same amount 7 years ago (to put into perspective). Rivera did an excellent job.
