Our take

A twitchy, dangerous energy emanates from Tilda Swinton’s tour-de-force performance in Erick Zonca’s uncompromising portrait of a woman gone off the rails. Crashing through a plethora of shocking schemes and bad decisions, this self-destructive road trip between America and Mexico is a wild ride.
