Présumé coupable

A FILM BY Vincent Garenq

Loosely based on real events, this harrowing, superbly made drama by fast-rising filmmaker Gerardo Naranjo is Mexico’s submission for Best Foreign Language Film — rightfully so

- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

Matyas Erdely helps the director bring a measure of blood-chilling control to the whole horrific affair, elevating the entire aesthetic in the process.

- Peter Debruge, Variety

Naranjo, a graduate of the American Film Institute, has a gift for staging action that defines character. The film is a harrowing experience. It cuts deep.

- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Poignant et terriblement prenant.
