Thought-provoking, Quirky, Excellent ensemble, Great overall choreography, Joyful

See it if you want a lovely experience like a vacation without the inconvenience of luggage. Delightful performance exposing a Mexico I never knew.

Don't see it if reading supertitles bothers you.

Relevant, Well acted, Slow, Thought-provoking, Absorbing

See it if Cast of 4 young men exuberantly perform/sing ancient Mayan folk tales both mythic & traditional Bare boned staging enhances authenticity

Don't see it if Use of Mexican & regional Mayan languages could be jarring w/shifting to supertitles unruly but winning ensemble A+ esp in 'blue stag' myth
