Winner of a Directing Award at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, Natalia Almada’s Users is a searching and insightful meditation on society’s ceaseless reliance on technology to fulfill human needs..
Mexican acting legend Adriana Barraza delivers a self-erasing performance in Natalia Almada’s narrative filmmaking debut as Doña Flor, an isolated, 63-year-old bureaucrat in Mexico City who is defined by her work.
In this fascinating nonfiction portrait of a character and a country, Natalia Almada embeds viewers in the days and nights of Martin, a man who watches over the mausoleums of Mexico’s most infamous drug lords.
