A graffiti tiger paces behind the bars of his spray-painted cage. Rivulets of blood snake from a crime scene to track characters through paint-peeling hallways. A grand piano burns amid the shadows of a gutted warehouse. Goldfish swim in puddles carved into the cement that surrounds a shattered tank.
Brutal gang violence is nothing new in movies, although it’s shocking to witness it visited on — and perpetrated by — characters so young, some still tender enough that they can be seen carrying a raggedy stuffed animal in one hand and a deadly firearm in the other, treating each like toys that had been denied them by parents who disappeared long ago.
Estrella lives alone at home, abandoned by a mother under mysterious circumstances that become horrifically clear late in the film. In the meantime, “they return” indeed, taking the form of a sinister and downright scary spirit that lurks wherever Estrella goes. This ominous figure moves out of focus through the background of certain shots, creeping up behind her and reaching out its rotten hand to demand retribution.
