Twitter Capsule: Study of two men's erratic behavior, suggestive but not all that plausible. Interesting debut but Lion seems generous.

VOR: ③  A major success for Venezuelan film amidst that country's terrible tumult. The movie's acclaim and circulation are more remarkable than its originality, though.
