Falls short when you constrast it with Dogtooth (a recent film with a similar plot): Castle of Purity's more traditionally melodramatic, judgemental setup doesn't cover the subject matter with quite as much of an impact as Dogtooth's more detached yet far more visceral methods, and Dogtooth also benefits from being more grotesque. Still it's a great, gripping piece of drama, the subject matter is still covered very well and the ending is brilliant and loaded with an almost comic amount of irony.

It's evident what will eventually happen in this film, but it was fun getting there. Crazy Mexicans.
