About This Movie

Early (2012) presents a stark, almost hypnotic portrait of life in the fields, where Alex and Patricio navigate their daily existence amid oppressive humidity. The film captures the slow grind of their routine, but beneath the surface, there's this palpable tension—uncertainty creeps in as changes in their environment loom large. The atmosphere is thick, the pacing deliberate, allowing you to linger on the details of their labor and the weight of their unspoken dreams. The performances feel raw and intimate, pulling you into their world. What makes this documentary stand out is its ability to convey a sense of place and time, a reflection on how external forces can shift the ground beneath one's feet.
