I love Spanish thrillers. This amazing Argentinean film is dark and beautifully directed.
The movie is not linear , may be that is reason people did not give good rates. Because most of the people now wants to be spoon fed.
The movie goes back and forth abruptly may confuse you little but that is actually get interesting when you get in to the flow. You will be glued until the end to know was it murder or just bad luck or act of god.
I am still not sure if I am with the girl or with the writer. I wasn't happy about the ending but still I loved it. The dialogues are so well written, so even the english translation was good.
Watch it if you like a good psychological thriller.

This is a story of revenge. A slow and painful revenge.
Peretti is a great actor and he is superb in his role.
I liked the way the story is told but I didn't like the ending.

I like international works and was happy to find this on Netflix. Perhaps my first Argentinian piece.
It is not great. It was not bad enough To not watch the entire movie. It's only 90 minutes and the plot seemed to move along okay. In other words it kept my attention. There is some bouncing around on the timeline so there were points I was a little confused, but I eventually sorted that out.
I found the lead character (Kloster) truly unlikable. By the end of the movie I was having almost a visceral reaction to him.
The other two primary leads are similarly unpleasant. None of these three are at all sympathetic and so the end (which throws in a surprise) left me cold and unsatisfied.
It is interesting that in the same weekend I watched this movie I also watched Spiderhead, which is fantastic. Of the two there is no comparison. They are not in the same league.
Watch Spiderhead and if you have time to waste give this one a try.

The movie theme hinges on the wife reading the letter from the lawyer on him getting sued for sexual Harrasment because that provided the tragic motivation for the suicide and the murders.
The moral question to ask was? Is the sexual harassment case justified and did she give him signals. Did it have to escalate when she could of said no to the kiss or rationally just said it was a mistake and moved on. She obviously had feelings for him and religious guilt. A preacher's daughter should forgive but I can see why he did not forgive her after her being a catalyst for the suicidal death of his demented wife and tragic manslaughter of his daughter.
The ending was a surprise and it was worth watching if you enjoy trying to predict endings to psychological thrillers and you will be surprised.

Well paced thriller with good performance but whats the point of spending that much time watching to find the main question is still unanswered at the end. The answers are never given and the central character the writer is a really disgusting character who never acknowledges that it was his own careless behaviour which destroyed his family not the poor girl who filed a genuine lawsuit. The director never shows even one character make the point that it was never ever Luciana's fault but the writers who left a kid alone with unbalanced woman. The pace kept me watching only to have a disappointing end where the questions remain as open as ever. What a wasted effort!

This film was alright. But it got a bit lost halfway through and things started seeming a bit confusing. I understand what was going on it was just the way it was done. I did however enjoy the acting and still thought it was a good watch but the lead it took could've gone a lot better.

Those are the three words to describe this movie.
When I watched the trailer, it looked to be an interesting movie and I was really looking forward to it. But it could have been easily avoided!
I could guess what was going to happen from the get-go. The ending was just as obvious. The acting was extremely tiring and tedious, like as if the actors were also putting up with this movie the same way the viewers were!
Give it a miss unless you have time to kill and nothing else to watch!

I think this movie is very bad, although the plot seemed promising, it ends up being predictable and very silly. You know what happens the whole movie and at the end it almost ends without a conclusion, all very bad. I expected something else, especially with Diego Peretti in the cast.
Not knowing what it was I binge watched this movie. It wasn't a waste of time. I like psychologycal thrillers and this is one of the better ones. It's not too ,,scary,, but still makes you bang your head in the wall time to time. I recommend it to the ones who liked The girl on the train, Thelma or Sightless. You do have to have a certain taste to appreciate the movie as it is but you definitely should try.

#1. The "Story Line" associated with this movie has absolutely NOTHING to do with the plot. Don't even bother to read it.
#2. It is very hard to keep interested in watching this piece. It is boring and jumbled. I gave 2 stars because it's in color.

This movie is boring, nothing makes sense. The acting is borderline acceptable but the pacing and the plot are just preposterous. There is nothing logical in the sequence of events that took place in this film.

Forget the plot holes that are so numerous you cant count or that are so big you could almost fit Trumps ego in them ( I said almost) but this film has BY FAR the worst ending EVER you finally get to the end and itll piss you off. I'm not going to give it away I'm just telling you now DONT WATCH it the film has No pay off has no redeeming quality at all my wife and I both looked at each other and said OMG DID THAT suck what horrible negative person wrote that garbage. Watch something with a better ending like exorcist or the conjuring!! This SUCKED!! It's a negative 10.

The choosing by Netflix of Argentine premium male actors Peretti and Minujin to attract viewers could not make up for the wasting of a good script into a poor screenplay. Does not convey emotions, and the dramatism required in some scenes does not show up either. Dull. It is a one dimensional cardboard flick all the way.
I'm hoping I've caught you before you hit play!!! This movie was a massive failure in the attempt to create an antihero. This had all the right ingredients to make a great thriller. Apparently that wasn't the goal because every one of these ingredients was mishandled. Very disappointing.

I literally can not understand the very negative reviews people are giving. It seems that they are so accustomed to american-made superhero movies/series, that they can not watch something different or foreign. This movie has all the elements (plot, acting, atmosphere, plot twists) that render it a very enjoyable watch. Well done.
