An overall good arthouse movie, has its flaws but it is worth the watch
What if we threw in Brazilian social commentary with a western feel, hallucinogens, and gore into a blender? BACURAU!
What a wild movie - interesting and disturbing. Strong finish. Worth checking out.
It's full of criticism regarding colonialism and political indifference to the poorest. Must see especially to Brazilians.
Filho and Dornelles pull off a surprisingly brutal post-apocalyptic ‘western’. It has to be seen to be believed.
A community that sticks together through tragedy, but told and shot in an interesting and unique way.
Extremely well made arthouse foreign film that masterfully descends into b-movie schlocky goodness. Truly unique
Um orgulho pro cinema brasileiro! ps: final perfeito.
Normally I don’t care for this style of movie, but Bacurau was great! Loved how it ended.
Social commentary, surrealism, good actors and cinematography, it has it all. A must see for fans of Brazilian cinema and for foreigners too
