The Cinema Hold Up

Negus, Chale, Sapo, and Chata are teenagers living in Mexico’s Guerrero colony. Friends since childhood, they have too much time on their hands. The foursome decide to rob the local cinema. Each finds his or her reason to go ahead with the caper, unaware that the ordeal may threaten the only thing they have—their friendship. "[The Director] has an undeniable eye and ear for what life is like here, captured by [the DP’s] colorful cinematography, [the composer’s] buoyant music, and the sounds of the street. In the end, you can’t help but feel for these kids" (Hollywood Reporter).
