I find it hard for me to pinpoint the genre of this movie, and that's great. The town (Bacurau) is the best actor/actress presented here, which means all the good acting gave personality to this wonderful place. You'll see a lot of social and political criticism here and it's perfectly done.
Unfortunately, nothing more can be said about this flick without giving away some spoilers, but rest assured, it is one of the best movies Brazil has made in a long time.
10/10

It starts a little bit slow and some things bothered me a little.
But the positive aspects of this movie are enough to make you forget about every mistake that you could find in it.

This is a great western, with lots of violence and powerful messages.
It talks about prejudice, class warfare, social inequality and corruption.

It is a fun movie that makes you think about society and our role in it.

I think what this film does so well is celebrate family and community. I come from a small town that is part of a larger area that has seen better days so in a lot of ways I could relate to the people of Bacurau. Also, as the movie begins to play out there is some violence but at no point does it ever devolve into something that Tarantino would be proud of. The director gently handled so many of the film's themes with a very subtle approach. Also (and without saying too much), I thought the use of the Americans in the film was perfect especially when you look at it against the backdrop of the last several weeks in America. We've seen these people in the movie and unfortunately also on the news. While watching the movie I kept trying to think of another movie like it but I could not.

The disappearing town. The community that defends itself. The missing water. The film is a clever mix of genres. Blood-tinged political cinema. Gal Costa sounds. "Too much violence," says the most violent character. John Carpenter sounds. A dystopian western more complex than "Westworld". The strangers scenes are unbalanced. The colonization of the disadvantaged. The death is a spaghetti western. "Se for, vá na paz".

The movie's good. High-level. It has a slow footprint at first, this was the intention of the director, but ends up getting a little too slow. It's a way of building the characters, getting you closer to them. From almost 1h begins the real plot. The greatest merit of the film are the technical details such as photography and sound, very good. It's worth watching.
