Sarita goes out dancing one night at the insistence of her free-spirited sister, Bea. Uncharacteristically, Sarita dances the night away, heading home alone when the party drags on too late. The next morning, after calling friends and neighbors, Sarita begins to panic when she realizes that Bea never made it home. The police are indifferent and unhelpful, but Sarita suspects that Bea's disappearance has something to do with Andr茅s, her sister's dangerous ex. Realizing she must take matters into her own hands, Sarita finds a way to befriend him and infiltrate his gang. With an unwavering determination, Sarita becomes increasingly involved with Andr茅s and the ruthless, violent underworld of Guatemalan street gangs. Praised for its "gritty authenticity" (Screen Daily) and cast with almost entirely non-professional actors, Cadejo Blanco is an intense, nail-biting thriller in the vein of Sin Nombre and Maria Full of Grace, that digs deep into the underbelly of gang culture.

David Jenkins Little White Lies Lerner鈥檚 slowburn saga deconstructs and admonishes a system where boredom begets anger and anger begets violence, and the hardnut lieutenants in these organisations go about their grisly business simply because, once you鈥檙e in, you鈥檙e in for life. Rated: 4/4 •  Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian Not so much an out-and-out suspense thriller as a character study powered by an outstanding lead performance by Karen Mart铆nez. Rated: 3/5 •  Aug 19, 2024 Full Review

Jonathan M There are only six professional actors in this film. It truly is a thrill where the authenticity speaks through the screen. Justin Lerner's best film to date. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
