There seems to be more unfortunate events that Carlitos has experienced throughout his life as he dreamed of a different level than he was. The story of Carlitos, a young seventeen-year-old with blond hair and a very innocent face, began. When Ramon meets in his new school, he is drawn directly to Carlitos and begins to appear to get his attention, both of them undergoing new trials of criminality, murder and theft. Perhaps Carlitos will eventually be in prison, an unfortunate end.

the sheer off-kilter spectacle that finds its focus in small, weird moments is too great to dismissNovember 13, 2018
The movie is made with skill, but it's so relentless in backing away from any psychologizing or moralizing - or just about anything else that might give us a handle on what makes this monster tick - that it finally feels like an empty horror show.November 12, 2018
Ortega has a real eye for flashy, chaotic set pieces and a real ear for excellent Latin rock needle drops on the film's killer Scorsese-inspired soundtrack.January 10, 2019
Too little of "El Angel" escapes a second-hand, been-there, killed-that feeling.November 09, 2018
It's a hell of a story-spruced up and splashed on a big, colorful screen-with a lot to show but little to say.November 17, 2018
Ferro's superb performance makes it a highly worthwhile ride.November 16, 2018
The film is well done in establishing its mood. However, it never succeeds in keeping the characters interesting.November 30, 2018
Although the characters aren't sympathetic, the film benefits from stylish period visuals, subtle treatment of its homoerotic subtext, and charismatic performances.December 20, 2018
Captivatingly nasty.November 16, 2018
At one point, a filmmaker must draw a line in the sand so his audience knows how to react. This movie dances across such a line until it is no longer there.December 05, 2018
The full story has been sacrificed in the service of maintaining the balance between horror and fascination. And Ferro really has created a fascinating screen character.November 08, 2018
El Angel is sensuous enough to suggest the work of Pedro Almodovar.
