On the whole... the film is well executed.

Not content to have one thing to say, 'The Wall of Mexico' settles for rambling about bits of everything before collapsing in post-party exhaustion.

There's a clever satirical conceit at the center of 'The Wall of Mexico,' but it's treated in so ponderous, pretentious and-especially at the end-preachy a fashion that the movie collapses under its own super-indulgent weight.

3/5

The plot's pace is a bit slack, but the imagery and ideas maintain the interest and leave us thinking.

3/5

This unusual political allegory comes off a little heavy-handed and obvious, but the lush, honeyed cinematography balances the mood, and it emerges as an interesting, somewhat timely curiosity.

The Wall of Mexico manages to subtly discuss political issues without having to resort to over explaining its points which also raises the question as to how easily the events of the film could happen to anyone.

This film get five stars for being so completely unlike any other film. The dialogue is so bizarre but it works. It feels like a play, but then the visuals are very cinematic, so... Rathbone is convincing as a cowboy wannabe. Zumbado makes the film, though, because she plays an original character, truly original and strange, like a crazy crossbreed of a reality TV bombshell hot-gurl type and a Marxian grad student nerd. The film feels like its own little alien planet that doesn't care what people think about it.

The movie was boring and just plain weird. The theme oversimplified real-world problems to sway the viewer to one outcome. I saw it more as propaganda went wrong. I spent a few days thinking about it and trying to find a redeeming quality. Lastly, this is not a comedy in any sense of the word.
