sodeju! Sometimes you see a film where you scratch behind your ear afterwards and think; wtf was all this...? And do I understand correctly...? Of course I understand but the changes of course are very abrupt even though you know that something is not right. The umpteenth Spanish film in a short time was certainly not a disappointment, without a doubt the opposite.

After a quiet start, where the necessary is revealed, the film unfolds as a true mystery. A cross between Cluedo and Hitchcock. The possibilities are numerous, so are the suspects, and although every possibility is a bit tricky, also because the film cannot be over yet, every possibility is presented with a certain conviction. Subtly you are misled every time, and although I immediately have Adrian as the main suspect, also because his story is too good every time, I actually expected that he would call it done in a fit of madness or paranoia . Or maybe in a kind of trance, full of guilt about the things done. Slightly different, the ending is fine and the extra pinch is just that I think damn, this was pretty good because also with Goodman Did I already say who are you? Are you listening to him? But I thought who she eventually turned out to be was very clever.

A beautiful atmospheric film, great script, good acting, beautiful women in the case of Lennie and Yelamos, so Laura and Sonja. The strength of the film is that you are searching and the film constantly sends you in a direction that you do not fully expect. The storytelling of the film brilliantly masters you and determines what you think or expect even though you know the whole thing stinks. But yes, but what exactly...?

Contrast tempo, top man! Tasty and good!

Crime mystery. Very inventive and original story with some nice plot twists and a blast of an ending plot. Genre “who what where why when and how”. You will be left with questions until the end, but in the end you will get an answer to everything. Cheers to a Spanish production. Hollywood worthy. Enjoyed. So more can be made. Enthralled from start to finish. And as the saying goes: “honest is the best”…
