Miss Bala Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Loren King
Naranjo offers a grim subject with neither flash nor sentiment. It is a sober film done with style.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
There is a larger message to be found here, but it never derails the taut vintage thriller that's been constructed.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
It's an adventure story that could be called a contemporary picaresque if it weren't so deadly serious, and might be called fantastical if it weren't loosely based on a true story of a former Miss Hispanic America.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Maybe the film doesn't add up to quite as much as its talented director, Gerardo Naranjo, seems to have hoped, but it is tense and propulsive.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Miss Bala is full of virtuoso single-take tracking shots and over-the-shoulder perspectives that effectively convey a sense of menace and momentum.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
This strange and eerie noir is more a collection of knockout scenes than a fully realized story.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
[A] well-shot, bluntly propulsive thriller...
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Mexico's 2012 submission for Best Foreign Language Film - rightfully so.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Gerardo Naranjo may have made the least-glamorous movie ever about a pageant queen with "Miss Bala."
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Except for its disappointingly tapered ending, Miss Bala... is an impressive, anxiety-ridden crime drama that can join the ranks of some of the best in its genre, from two of Mexico's best talents.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
"Miss Bala" is a portrait of a young woman who is at once terribly vulnerable and improbably brave. It's equally a vision of a vulnerable society on the road to anarchy.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
An urgent dispatch from the sidelines of the drug war that consumes our southern neighbor.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
In the vision of this ruthless and abundantly talented young director, life in Tijuana isn't merely as bad as you think. It's worse.
Village Voice
Karina Longworth
Miss Bala is a work of impressionistic reportage, built out of artfully crammed widescreen compositions and bravura long tracking shots.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
The film's pace races through events in a chain of escalating violence, tension, smoke and gunfire.
Variety
Peter Debruge
With the blistering firecracker that is Miss Bala, next-gen Mexican director and AFI grad Gerardo Naranjo delivers on the promise of such well-respected early pics as Drama/Mex and I'm Gonna Explode.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Miss Bala is a terrifying tale of a beauty contest that ends in horror... The film is a harrowing experience. It cuts deep.
Movieline
Stephanie Zacharek
Naranjo keeps the action tense but understated; instead of allowing explosions and shootouts to pile up, he rations them in taut doses.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It's a film that becomes almost numbing in its tone but it's incredibly well-made and performed.
