There are ethnographic films and there are crime films. I can't recall a film before this that does both successfully - but wait, there's more. Birds of Passage is also an epic tragedy... It's a breathtaking, moody, elegiac piece of work.

Sydney Morning Herald
4 stars out of 5 -- [I]t is the specificity that counts, and while certain genre tendencies prevent the narrative from truly unmooring, hardly a scene goes by without something fundamentally familiar being rendered in a unique fashion.
The Guardian
4 stars out of 4 -- The screenwriters’ way of describing this world’s fall from grace due to the lures of money and luxury has the power and inevitability of classic tragedy.
RogerEbert.com
4 stars out of 5 -- Structured via five distinct sections, Guerra and Gallego’s world is one of striking, vivid contrasts.

El antepenúltimo mohicano
Guerra’s vivid, distinctive crime drama revisited the birth of the country’s drug trade as seen through the eyes of an indigenous Wayúu family.
Uncut
A rare bird indeed, Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra’s Colombian crime epic is like an indigenous THE GODFATHER, revealing the slow and steady destruction of a close-knit native family who gets caught up in the international drug trade in the 1970s.
