Plot Story : POST TENEBRAS LUX ("light after darkness"), ostensibly the story of an upscale, urban family whose move to the Mexican countryside results in domestic crises and class friction, is a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family and their place within the sublime, unforgiving natural world. Reygadas conjures a host of unforgettable, ominous images: a haunting sequence at dusk as Reygadas's real-life daughter wanders a muddy field and farm animals loudly circle and thunder and lightning threaten; a glowing-red demon gliding through the rooms of a home; a husband and wife visiting a swingers' bathhouse with rooms named after famous philosophers. By turns entrancing and mystifying, POST TENEBRAS LUX palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition. (c) Strand

Review For Movie Post Tenebras Lux
The result calls for a viewing as different as looking at a Vermeer against Rothko or de Kooning or multiple other modern painters.Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
Along with Bela Tarr and Terrence Malick, Carlos Reygadas is one of today's few genuinely religious filmmakers.
Peter Keough-Boston Globe
Moviegoers beholden to clean narrative may feel they need their own explanatory GPS and audio guide. But the richer reward lies in allowing oneself to be led by this gifted director's instinct for lyrical, sensory exploration.
Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times
This one delivers a grand pictorialism and piercing existential moments that float atop the maundering narrative like noodles in soup.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
It's as if Reygadas started with a sprawling cache of visual ideas and then tried to find some way to organize them all. The effect can be frustrating at times, but also surprising and beguiling.
Scott Tobias-NPR
Like a jumbled-up set of nesting boxes, the scenes make sense individually (kind of). The hard part is fitting them together.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
If there's a unifying concept to all of this it's the idea of defilement.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
Entrancingly beautiful and calculated to confound
Violet Lucca-Film Comment Magazine
Muddled and atmospheric, the result is more frustrating than fascinating.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
Emotionally and intellectually demanding, but occasionally exhausting and tedious.
Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
If greeted with enough openness and interest, Post Tenebras Lux's seemingly incoherent string of scenes reveals itself as a carefully executed emotional structure that begs for, and rewards, repeated viewings.
Joe Peeler-Paste Magazine
The film is never less than fascinating, but it appears to be so intensely personal as to be all but indecipherable to viewers not personally acquainted with the filmmaker, or at least in possession of the press kit.
Mike D'Angelo-AV Club
Despite a handful of splendid moments, it doesn't quite succeed
Jordan Hoffman-Badass Digest
Creates so many possibilities that it may be likened to a rough draft awaiting editing.
