Daniel & Ana

While shopping in Mexico City, brother and sister Daniel (Dario Yazbek Bernal) and Ana (Marimar Vega) Torres are held up at gunpoint, dragged off by kidnappers and forced into positions they never imagined. But in the aftermath, both must deal with the trauma on their own terms. Writer-director Michel Franco helms this powerful tale of survival and sacrifice that delivers an unexpectedly shocking ending.
Netflix Rating: 3.2
Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics

The spare, relentlessly controlled debut feature of the Mexican director Michel Franco, Daniel & Ana advances on minimal dialogue and with virtually no musical accompaniment. full review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

Too bad the director blows it with a last act that tips the film's delicate balance over into lurid grotesquerie, even as his staging remains as consciously muted as ever. full review
