Transcription

Plot

The wealthy Mexican-American Arista family hires a new white handyman, Don (Jackson Rathbone). Don, mentored by veteran groundskeeper Mike (Xander Berkeley), labors at the ranch for months and comes to learn that something unusual is going on there, something having to do with the Arista's well; the water level keeps going down even when it rains. Meanwhile, Don has become enamored with the daughters of the family, Ximena (Carmela Zumbado) and Tania (Marisol Sacramento), especially Tania.

One night, Don and the patriarch Henry (Esai Morales) chase a group of thieves away from the well. Don becomes aware there may be something unusual about the water itself. Henry orders Mike and Don to hire a crew and build a giant wall around the ranch to thwart future thieves. This action leads to an altercation between the nearby mostly white town and the Mexican-American family. It also leads Don to insatiable curiosity about the well and to actions with major consequences.

Cast

Release

The Wall of Mexico is a 2020 theatrical and VOD release by Dark Star Pictures.[3]

The film premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 8, 2019 and screened at various other festivals that year,[4] including the Nashville Film Festival, the Newport Beach Film Festival, the Haifa International Film Festival, and the American Film Festival.[5]

Reception

Critical reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 64% based on 11 critic reviews.[6]

Review website and magazine The Hollywood Reporter praised the performances of the actors in the film, particularly those of Morales, Rathborne, Berkeley, Hemingway, Sacramento and Zumbado.[2]

American newspaper The Austin Chronicle reviewed the film positively, stating "Although the film’s allegorical references are easy to suss out, it is nice to see our current border wall mess addressed from the other side of the divider. Drug-fueled scenes are filmed via subjective techniques worthy of a contact high."[7]

Critic Danielle Solzman praised the film's political complexity, stating "The Wall of Mexico is quite the allegorical response to the Trump administration. It’s even more ironic when one realizes that this American-made film was filmed south of the border. That’s a win for the Mexican economy nonetheless.  Honestly, I can’t stop laughing at this part."[8]

Awards and nominations

In 2019, at the American Film Festival, the film was nominated for the Narrative Feature award.[9]
