Movie review
From Time Out Online
Gilliam-esque whimsy meets the evening redness of Peckinpah’s West in a dusky gem of a documentary that charts a critical period in the life of the family run Circo Mexico – a second-tier circus struggling to stay afloat. Switching back and forth between the weightless beauty of the big-top and the parlous financial and familial situation backstage, it’s a crisply shot, emotionally frank and genuinely moving glimpse into a way of life that has become almost too fragile to continue.Author: Adam Lee Davies
