Desierto Review – Observer
Observer: With all that demented election-campaign talk about building a wall around Mexico to shut out illegal immigrants, Desierto, a vital gasp-a-minute cat-and-mouse thriller from Jonás Cuarón, the son of acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarón who wrote his father’s film Gravity, couldn’t be more timely or relevant.
