Editorial
A lacerating examination of Mexico’s war on drugs, this piercing drama is the astonishing debut from Fernanda Valadez. Eschewing shock tactics for a perpetual howl of rage and sorrow, Identifying Features sifts through the detritus of a national tragedy, eking brutal poetry from its moral ruins.
