Michel Franco's drama starts out like the cinematic equivalent of Jimmy Buffett's “Margaritaville” but turns into something far more perplexing. Tim Roth delivers a marvellously opaque performance as a member of a wealthy family on vacation in Mexico who cuts himself loose from pretty much everything.
