What to Know

Critics Consensus

Lovely visuals can't save Drama/Mex from its shaky camerawork and thematically uneven plot.

Drama/Mex has flashy style but puppetlike characters and unconvincing stories. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Jul 17, 2007
This relentlessly downbeat portrait of numerous troubled characters is ultimately too derivative and familiar for it to connect with art house audiences despite some effective moments and good performances by its mainly youthful cast. Go to Full Review
AV Club Jul 13, 2007
B
Drama/Mex has an overheated plot, but it plays out at a low boil, mainly because Naranjo is more interested in the subtle stresses of human interaction than in shrill desperation. Go to Full Review
