You get plenty of time with the characters to actually care for them and feel what they're feeling.

Every shot is perfect and they don't waste a single second.

The black and white helps bring light to a different way of life than what you're used to watching in movies

Looks like it was shot in the 70's and that deserves to be applauded.

Yalitza Aparicio gives a heartbreaking performance

Makes you happy, angry, and sad.

Pretty close to a perfect film.
