Subtle but thoughtful family drama in which acclaimed director Lila Áviles accurately reflects the different nuances of each character and shows the different ways in which each of them faces an imminent tragedy within the family nucleus.
Lila develops the plot in an almost poetic way with visually attractive but meaningful shots that represent the interaction between the characters.
The young and promising actress Naíma Sentíes offers a spectacular performance in which she manages to communicate through her gaze and few dialogues the endless emotions that a child can't fully process in such a complex situation.
Warm and emotional, Tótem is a film that stands out from the average Mexican production in terms of substance and form.
