Bacurau Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
Bacurau never wastes a chance to leave a mark on its audience.
AV Club
Katie Rife
While the story is genuinely surprising and unique once it gets where it's going, the diversions along the way make Bacurau more intellectually exciting than viscerally tense, even in that gory back half.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
For a fascinating hour or so, "Bacurau" ushers us into this strange, forbidding yet vibrant part of a world gone to hell.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It resonates. And despite the beauty of the weathered local faces this movie celebrates, it resonates for anyone, anywhere, watching it.
NME (New Musical Express)
Kambole Campbell
It's a curious film that defies categorisation, opening quietly before descending into a cacophony of cathartic bloodletting by the chaotic finale.
The Atlantic
David Sims
I don't want to spoil a second of Bacurau, but it's one of the best filmic distillations of that impending 21st-century sense of doom, a concentrated vision of the apocalypse that somehow manages to strike a hopeful note.
Harper's Magazine
Ela Bittencourt
Mendonça and Dornelles's film is... an attempt to grapple with unspeakable, horrifying evil -- but an evil that must be understood in social and historical rather than biblical terms.
Chicago Reader
Cody Corrall
It's a rallying cry against structural injustice told through a satisfying blend of western and science fiction influences.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
This movie gets a lot of points for being strange and Sônia Braga is all out as an alcoholic doctor.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
You never know where this movie is going. It is dreamlike for a long time and then it just becomes stunningly, graphically violent. You're laughing at moments that maybe you shouldn't be. It's really vivid, really odd, and unlike anything else.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Those shortcomings are generally of little consequence, so enchanting is Bacurau's mix of the wild and the wacko. Don't worry about understanding its every pointed twist, it's a blast of beguiling mayhem.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
An ingenious mashup of American westerns and the satirical and political work that swept Brazilian cinema in the 1960s.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Part of what's exciting is how the filmmakers marshal genre in the service of their ideas, using film form to deflect, tease and surprise.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The light touches of science fiction evoke present-day depravities, and the vision of local unity offers a thrillingly imaginative playbook for resistance.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
There's lots to admire here, in the performances and the visuals, and the way that widescreen makes the vast, cactus-rich landscapes a perfect backdrop for the bizarre mix of genres... But Bacurau ultimately wasn't to my taste.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
It's quite a brew, rich and extremely filling, but also chunky and uneven; it leaves your stomach in knots and your head in a very strange place.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
... its excellent craftsmanship and satisfying follow-through should earn it a devoted cult.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A crazy genre hybrid that exudes the confidence of the people who made it.
Slant Magazine
Sam C. Mac
The film succeeds as a stingingly personal missive aimed squarely at Brazil's right-wing president.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Bacurau is a wild, weird ride, and while maybe not for everyone its fearless politics is strengthened by its filmmakers' determinedly playful approach to genre experimentation.
