    also i am still waiting for Barrio Triste to release properly, keeping my fingers crossed for some local screenings here in Australia but realistically its just hitting streaming somewhere and i have to fire up the VPN. in my mind its a 2026 movie, even if Letterboxd and Wikipedia disagree with me.

    BARRIO TRISTE is part mournful slow burn panorama of life on the margins, part inverted crime film, part found footage horror. Sometimes tests one’s patience, and its gaze comes across GUMMO-esque with less subject interiority, but intermittently affecting.

    Famous in advertising and music videos, Colombian Stillz presents his debut Barrio Triste at #Orizzonti for Magnify. A primitive mockumentary, the film is ugly and exudes nothing but dread, even when dealing with animals - most probably the point. One of the worst films of the year, also in Toronto.

    BARRIO TRISTE is an atmospheric flick that may be more poetic than found footage folks suspect... those looking for something violent and sinister might be let down, but those open to its aspirations will experience a solid first step for a visual director. filmobsessive.com/film/new-rel...

    Stillz’s BARRIO TRISTE relies on a mood of disaffected melancholy, if without a clear direction. Read Eli Friedberg's review.

    #TIFF 2/4: There are a lot of movies that do the anti-social kids with a camera movie better than BARRIO TRISTE. Aimless yet padded out at the same time. Clearly sets out to be as unpleasant a watch as possible, at which is undoubtedly succeeds. But there is so little substance underneath.
