A good watch, is <em>'The Initiated'</em>. Andrés Parra, particularly, and Aria Jara add positive performances to this Colombian flick from 2023, one that sets up an interesting story. I enjoyed the premise and how it is portrayed, I would've liked a bit more background on why the world is the way it is but overall it's done well. Visually speaking, it looks nice too.
