Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
Loosely based on real events, this harrowing, superbly made drama by fast-rising filmmaker Gerardo Naranjo (I'm Gonna Explode) is Mexico's 2012 submission for Best Foreign Language Film - rightfully so.

IndieWire -
In each tense moment, Miss Bala has a lot to say in a few words.
|
|
Salon -
Terrifically choreographed, violent and amoral, but never wantonly cruel, Miss Bala is a knockout.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Fast and dangerous, Miss Bala is a hair-raising actioner.
|
|
Variety -
With the blistering firecracker that is Miss Bala, next-gen Mexican director and AFI grad Gerardo Naranjo delivers on the promise of such well-respected early pics as "Drama/Mex" and "I'm Gonna Explode," revealing them as dry runs for this "Scarface"-scary depiction of south-of-the-border crime run amok.
