An embittered law student commits a brutal double murder; a family man takes the fall and is forced to take a harsh sentence; and a mother and her two children wander the countryside in search of some kind of redemption.
Our read: Norte, the End of History (2013) reads as a heavy, slow-burn, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Heavy, slow-burn, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold.
