   “A fable about the perpetually endangered species of the scapegoat.”

3. Sonia — ★★★★
   “Unsettling, patient, and beautifully textured. A slow unspooling of dread across a community coming apart.”

4. H. Penn — ★★★★
   “The cinematography feels like mud and smoke and bruises — completely absorbing.”
