We Are the Flesh Reviews

Profoundly allegorical yet not far removed from a psychedelic journey.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

A brutal, intense story with a riveting performance by Noe Hernandez...

| Oct 10, 2019

There's nothing realistic about these scenes, nothing new or potentially boundary-pushing.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Oct 8, 2019

We Are the Flesh is outré enough to generate avid enthusiasts, but for those who are easily desensitized by unrelenting grotesqueness, one may find this kind of shock value a bit too transparent.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 4, 2019

The exploitation of reproductive organs, the violent intensity behind every act, and the pure caliber of immoral yet delicious climaxes combine with mesmerising dream sequences soaked with visceral colours to prove that even extreme cinema...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 14, 2019

We Are The Flesh is either unwatchable or unmissable, depending on your attitude towards unconventional filmmaking and weird sex cults.

| Sep 1, 2019

I'm still unsure if We Are the Flesh is a true post-apocalyptic tale or an alcohol-fueled dream. It could seriously go either way.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 9, 2019

A deliriously depraved take on Hansel and Gretel, We are the Flesh will haunt you for all the wrong reasons.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2018

While a difficult film to claim as 'beautiful' in the sense of classical prettiness, there is ... a dizzying exquisiteness to Minter's craft.

| Aug 25, 2018

I'll be chewing on this one for a long time.

"We Are the Flesh" could inspire evenings of fervent disputation and interpretation, but first there needs to be an audience for it, and for this? I'm not so sure. There was once a time, though.

| Original Score: B | Jun 13, 2017

Despite the dark, perverse and twisted approach, the film is a statement that celebrates freedom and struggles against social boundaries and conventions. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 3, 2017

Regardless of how complete or failed, it's an evidence of a creativity that strengthens the industry and gives us enough to talk about. [Full review in Spanish]

| Mar 27, 2017

It's not something we haven't seen before but that doesn't mean it's not a pretty fun product, full of excesses and mistakes, like any debut film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Mar 27, 2017

A downpour of shock, but pointless at the end, even if you want to make us believe otherwise with its swirl of colorfully retouched secretions. [Full review in Spanish]

| Mar 25, 2017

The great achievement of the film is that it manages to create enough interest to immerse itself more than once in this surreal world full of caricature characters, madness and disgust. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Feb 22, 2017

[Emiliano Rocha Minter] has realised that when one mixes two genres, each of which generally plays to a separate group of critics, one can create the illusion of innovation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 22, 2017

The dialogue is as poetic as the story is ambiguous, but strong performances and a muted, artful visual style keep this from straying into exploitation territory. Bring a long attention span and a strong stomach.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 8, 2017

What it lacks in scope and budget, the intentionally claustrophobic Tenemos La Carne makes up for with a wonderfully spooky sound design, and the best use of a tympani since 1963's Blood Feast.

| Jan 26, 2017

Highly recommended to sophisticated perverts. All others... look out!
