Alfonso Cuaron’s name is well-known in the film industry now, after carefully creating a filmography of boundary-pushing, exceptionally-crafted films leading up to his eventual Oscar win with Gravity in 2014. He’s cemented himself as one of the most skilled craftsman in his industry right now, and hasn’t done much to challenge that status either. So, with his father’s reputation looming quite massively over him, the filmmaker’s son, Jonas Cuaron, has made his film debut this year with Desierto, a new action thriller that has admirable action and political ambitions, but never quite grows to be anything more than that.
Opening on an expansive shot of the sunrise over the Mexican desert, Desierto quickly shifts its focus to a truckload of immigrants driving their way towards the fence dividing Mexico and the United States. In the truck itself, we’re introduced to Gael Garcia Bernal’s Moises, a mechanic making his way into the US in the hopes of reuniting with his family. Before the truck is able to make it to its destination though, the engine dies and Moises as well as the rest of his fellow immigrants are forced to walk the rest of the way, through the dividing fence and across the badlands, a dangerous and much longer route than they were originally supposed to take.
