About This Movie

Cuatro Esquinas is this fascinating slice of life, really.

The pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, which really lets you soak in the atmosphere of his surroundings. The film gives a raw look at ambition and despair, with a distinct edge that feels almost gritty at times.
