AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

zuhairvazir A relatively fresh take on a genre that has to be tread upon with care and with the threat of great peril in mind. 'We are What We Are' is the portrayal of a dysfunctional family. However the representation of it is amplified, with much intensity as the film rolls closer to its end. It is an interesting watch however, it keeps the secrets to itself. I am hoping the director intended to be it like that.I'm confused, really. It's one of those films where you cannot figure if it's a plain and straight, mediocre narrative (with some great sequences) or maybe you missed out on some key plot contrivance and hence missed 'the point'. For Instance the back-story of 'Jug Face (2013)' was in the opening credits, sort of like hand-drawn stop-motion short. Anyhow, Hollywood is about to release a re-make; let's see how they tackle the dinner matter. Watch it, if only to let me know the 'what'

Joe I guess this is a film that will ultimately appeal and be enjoyed by a limited audience. Dark, grim, nihilistic and amoral, it's no feel good movie and has no redemption story either.We are watching a dysfunctional family in Mexico in the days following the death of their patriarch. At a loss from his passing, the family is desperate to know how to proceed. The problem? They are cannibals and need to formally complete a ritual in the coming day. So where do they get the body? Who is to be responsible for carrying on the family leadership? The mother is impossible, the sons are difficult and the daughter is the youngest and not one that the rest seem to address.Add in immoral cops and hell-bent prostitutes, and you've an unsettling mix.The setting in a poor Mexican estate gives the whole film a dark and grim feel. The camera work is good, but it's the soundtrack which is what makes this work. Okay the acting and story are good but not always gripping. The film is trying to avoid being too gruesome and the body count is kept minimal for a horror, which is nice for a change.The biggest problem is that as much as it's interesting, not sure if the whole idea really stretched out to be a full film (it was quite short as it was). Just needed some more work on the script and more explanation of what was going on and any motives. Just felt I didn't know what was going on too often which was frustrating.For horror, it's a different twist as cannibal films are usually full on but this isn't and thankfully not another cheap shot of torture porn. Worth it if you like horror films, but won't appeal much to most else.

Hellmant 'WE ARE WHAT WE ARE': Three Stars (Out of Five)Mexican horror film (with English subtitles) about a family of cannibals in which the teenage children must take over the hunting duties of the father when he passes away. The film is similar in theme and character structure to a recent (2006) American low budget horror film called 'THE HAMILTONS', except that film dealt with a family of vampires. This one is not quite as well made or interesting as that flick but neither are horror classics. It is a decent 'B' horror film none the less with some pretty good acting. The directing and script are adequate (by Jorge Michel Grau) for the genre but of course not very original. Still the film is dark and disturbing and delivers that much at least.The story begins with a man (Humberto Yanez) stumbling through a mall and becoming obsessed with some mannequins in a shop window. After being shued away he passes out and dies in the middle of the mall floor. His wife Patricia (Carmen Beato) and three children are alarmed when he doesn't return home and his two sons, Alfredo (Francisco Barreiro) and Julian (Alan Chavez), fill in for him at the street market where he worked as a watch repairman. After getting in a couple fights (over debt their dad owed) and kicked out of the market they return home to the news that their father has passed away, from their sister Sabina (Paulina Gaitan). As their mother freaks out and locks herself in her room Sabina informs her brothers it's now their duty to find someone for their regular cannibal ritual. The two brothers then set out into the city looking for prey.The film is very dark (both thematically as well as lighting) and brutally violent. It is very shocking to watch this seemingly normal family resort to such violent behavior like it's a regular way of life. The sons do of course have trouble with it at first, especially the more emotional Alfredo, as the sister Sabina seems more mature and adept at their traditional way of life. In that way the film is intriguing and like I said disturbing but none of the characters are really relatable and in the end the film paves no new paths. It's just another generic horror film told in a slightly different fashion (at least from the average American film). Worth seeing if you're a horror junkie, otherwise it's probably a skip.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4tG6zhJxO8

tom van de Bospoort When I saw the beginning and the first 10 minutes, I thought what have I let my self in for, this is going to be awful, but it got better, and by the middle seemed to have an OK story line and the cinematography improved. But at the start the shots were unbearably bad and throughout the whole film the acting was atrocious, some of the worst acting I've ever seen in a film.However, this film is OK at the end, not really one to go out of your way to see, but if your bored, and have nothing better to do and are at the cinema already, It's watchable. Although my flat mate said, it was one of the worst films he has ever seen, worse than piranha 3d, but what does he know, his favourite film is Phone Booth.A 6/10 and an OK watch, for South American film fans, but not for those usual Hollywood film fans.
