Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who love a story where everyone knows everyone and people who love a true story told well. The small-town setting is half the character.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 2 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Ernestina is a small town of 150 people whose peculiar inhabitants are deeply concerned by the acts of vandalism perpetrated by the people who go bathe in the river. They decide to hire private security. What is really going on in Ernestina? A suspenseful, humorous and endearing documentary about the dynamics of these small-town people.
