“Exhilarating, tense, personal, and enigmatic, BARRIO TRISTE is a compelling look at a lost generation in search of salvation, and among this year’s best first features.”
—The Film Stage

“A nightmarish odyssey into the depths of poverty and despair.”
—RogerEbert.com

“A demanding and unflinching work, offering no catharsis or easy resolution … Its power lies in this refusal, presenting a stark portrait of lives on the margin and finding a profound, disturbing humanity in the static.”
—Gazettely

From executive producer Harmony Korine and featuring original music by Arca comes the acclaimed debut feature by Stillz, whose images have burned up the screen as a photographer and Bad Bunny music video director. In Medellin, 1987, a crew of teenagers commandeer a news camera and turn it on their lives in BARRIO TRISTE.
