Our take
A low-budget ode to female resilience, this fierce interrogation of the effects of domestic violence features a remarkable turn from newcomer Karent Hinestroza. Atmospherically directed by Colombian filmmaker Jhonny Hendrix, Chocó marries its vivid documentary style to vibrant production design.
