SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

mario_c This film is a Spanish thriller about madness and denial of reality… When you live a shocking event which deeply affect your emotional stability, your brain has the tendency to reject it, deny it, and sometimes to forget it, either you want it or not… It's a natural instinct. This is the main topic of this movie.The entire film is greatly shot and has a fantastic cinematography, which combines the surreal with the artsy, in great scenarios and camera shots. The plot is involved in mystery since the beginning and the effect of the flashbacks, the white and minimal scenarios, and the whispering voices repeating what was said, like echoes, give it the surreal and sometimes almost lunatic ambiance… The plot is confusing, complex, and not easy to understand; at least until the last five minutes, where the explanations are given, and then all makes sense…There's one sentence in the movie which I appreciated and I think that resumes it very well: "Madness is the eruption of dreams in reality. The bad thing is that you can't distinguish them…"

daniel Carbajo López A dark night, the police receives a mysterious message. A dead woman is found and next to her lays a girl in shock. Beatriz is a famous doctor that starts to work in a mental hospital specialized in hypnosis. While she studies the case of the girl, the little commits suicide, which will cause Beatriz to enter into a world where it is difficult to distinguish between reality and dream. The plot is interesting and at the beginning, the movie is quite catching, but, as the movie develops, it becomes clear that it has anything worthy. It becomes not terrifying nor thrilling, just weird and boring. As an opera prima it is, it's clear to realize that many scenes could be better filmed and the plot is maybe too complex for a newbie. Perhaps with more experience and clearer ideas, the movie could be better. The acting does not helps, too. As at any moment the actors feel comfortable in their papers, perhaps is the inexperienced director that makes this, as he is not able to transmit everything he wants to transmit. the directing its promising, but the experience makes the grade, perhaps in the future, he will make a good film. Let's wait for it.

ibantz0 I enjoyed this movie from the beginning because of the colors, the views and the tension you could feel in the air. For me its like a mix between "Abre los ojos" (Open your eyes) and "Sex and Lucia". Its a surreal story like the one in "Abre los ojos" but told in a similar way as "Sex and Lucia", quite mediterranean have to say. The movie kept me holding my breath till the end, made me wonder what was going on till the last minute. I also enjoyed the Making of, where they say they did not want to explain too much about the movie and that you have to make your own conclusions. For me it is like a psychological trip, something that has a beginning but not and end.

koos222 First of all i've to tell you that i'm studying in madrid, where i saw the movie and i don't speak Spanish very good but... i think i can make a review. i'm a real movie buff, and i really enjoyed the camera work and atmosphere, setting of the movie. the story IS kind of weird but the pieces will fall together at the end of the movie. if you like suspense movies, and some topclass movie techniques you should go and see this movie. see it for yourself (we were with the 3 of us, my 2 friends almost had left the theater...)I rate it 7
