Based on her novel, Lucia Puenzo's Wakolda is the story of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele in Argentina in 1960, and it's showing in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes. Critical responses have been generally positive, although not exclusively.
The best response comes from Mark Adams at Screen Daily, who has nothing bad to say about Puenzo's third feature film as a director. Celine Louis writes the film up well in the Live Orange Blog. But rather unimpressed is Film School Rejects' Shaun Munro, who grades the film a poor D. And Catherine Bray on Twitter gives it an A-.
