Surfaces

About This Movie

So, 'Surfaces' is a really intriguing piece from 2020. It centers on Elanio and his brother Mirlo, who find themselves stuck in a desolate area due to a flat tire. The tension is palpable, especially as they’re caught up in the underbelly of trafficking. Mirlo’s encounter with Alondra, this spirited village girl, adds an unexpected twist. There's a sense of desperation mixed with fleeting hope through the film, and it captures the complexities of human connection in dire situations really well. Performances feel raw, almost unrefined, which enhances the authenticity. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it all contributes to that feeling of being trapped and searching for escape. Worth discussing among collectors for its unique thematic explorations.
