Museo [Sub: Eng]

Moviegoers looking for the kind of zip found in an "Ocean's" movie may feel a bit lost at sea with "Museo" and its offbeat rhythms and quirky charms. But the rewards definitely will be greater, if you keep an open mind.

Even after the story runs out, it's still a joy to watch.

"Museo" is the work of a genuinely creative directorial talent, and the early family scenes, richly detailed and shrewdly acted, provide just the right emotional context for this squabbling, indecisive gang of two.

With his characters unable to fence the goods, writer-director Alonso Ruiz Palacios has no place to turn but in the direction of head-scratching surrealism.

"Museo" is a fun, stylish, singular heist flick that's about so much more than the theft itself.

Museo is in part a caper film, a heist film, and while it leans on such classics as Topkapi and Rififi the robbery has its own signature and is done in a visual style that's hypnotic.

. Bernal is too old to play ingénue, but his commitment to the film's genuine if sophomoric passion is laudable. The film's deep patriotism is remarkable.

It's a rapt and rapturous chronicle of a trip to nowhere. [Full review in Spanish]

"The second feature film by Ruizpalacios does not match the humor or the inventiveness of his extraordinary opera prima Güeros (2014), although it is not exactly a failure either".

There's nobody better than [director] Alonso Ruizpalacios... to address this event in Mexican history. [Full review in Spanish]
