Movie Haiku:Bitter expose of institutional hypocrisy in modern day Mexico, where priests ally themselves with drug lords & build hospitals to front money laundering. Amaro (Bernal) starts out young & pure, but by the end his crimes are so numerous we’d be hard pressed to pick out “one” for the title.
