Special mention of the actress who played Isabel
I have to heartily applaud Isabela Moner's performance as Isabel. Brolin and del Toro were already great, but I think the addition of Isabel made this movie. I actually found her to be a more compelling character than Kate. I usually find child/teen characters to be annoying, I think because their performance often comes off as forced, but Ms. Moner was so genuine and natural that it made me actually care what happens to her, like Alejandro does. She did a good job and I hope to see her in more movies.
