Fernanda Valadez and Astrid Rondero’s previous collaboration, the haunting Identifying Features, was one of the highlights of Sundance 2020. SUJO, which is screening at Seattle International Film Festival, is a more than worthy follow-up. If we get a better coming-of-age story this year, we will be lucky. The images, performances, and the score are all impeccable. Identifying Features is available to watch on Max.
