25 years separate 2 electrical storms through which 2 people have an interaction and changes the future for one and the reality for the other. After the change, there are only 72 hours to find a way to reverse things.
This is a well thought out film. The story is written in a way that keeps you hungering for answers. The actors played their parts well and that pulls the viewer in as well.
My only complaint has to do with the ending. I wanted to see more of the consequences in the aftermath of all that happened. It was a good film regardless. Glad I checked it out.

This is the 3rd movie i watch for the Catalan director, and man did he deliver another masterpiece.
The plot is genius and most importantly "current" coping with this age and so original. The script itself was tight and connected ,, and even thought it was a bit slow in the beginning but turns so helpful to clear things up before introducing the "time lines change" idea.
The cast were all perfect ,, from the lead Adriana Ugarte to Álvaro Morte (the guy from the Netflix show money heist) and Chino Darín and even the kid was really good.
Netflix knows where to invest ,, the other day i read that Steven Spielberg attacking Netflix that they shouldn't be on the Oscars and so on (After they won three Oscars for Roma by Alfonso Cuarón) .. My say in this was ... "The future is now old man" , Netflix knows whats worth spending money on ,, and they harvest what they planted.

I have become a huge fan of time travel-ish movies and psychology thriller lately. in fact i would admit that the series "DARK" on Netflix is still my top five netflix original and you should totally watch it if you haven't already.
Anyway, i really enjoyed "Mirage", i thought it was well written. well shot and well acted. i was on the edge of my seat the entire time. its definitely worth a watch.
I wasn't expecting this film to be so good. It's an understated thriller with a very good plot that keeps you wondering what will happen till the end. Great cast and very convincing acting, would highly recommend! It's been the best time travel film I've seen in a while

After Contratiempo and El Cuerpo, i really thought that no one could do anything better but obviously i'm wrong. I liked this film so much. Not even a moment i felt bored. Unbelievably good, wow again. Thanks.

After watching 'DARK', I got interest in films or series where paradox or time travel is in it. This is the film where you can get it. Yes you read it correct. Without any doubts, just watch this movie. It's truly awesome. This time I saw the same concept. I thought there'll be paradox in it. But it's not. I thought I would give it 9 stars because the plot was easy to guess and the suspense was not that much. You'll easily guess who 'Nico' is. 'Nico' - there's character named in it. But trust you'll never get bored. In fact your curiousness will get high and high after star watching it. Honestly I can't tell the director how thankful I'm to watch this movie. Also the actors, performances were great and you'll deeply fall into this movie. I hope director will make great movies like this.
Durante la tormenta (2018) or Mirage is an intriguing and supernatural thriller with interesting screenplay plenty of twists and turns . In 1989, during the fall of the Berlin Wall and a 72-hour-long electrical storm a boy named Nico (Julio Bohigas) , while recording a video in his house, hears some noises and watches a discussion scene in his neighbors' home through a window. He goes to the house only to find the body of Ms. Weiss , the wife of the neighbor Angel Prieto (Javier Gutiérrez) . Meantime, a disturbing young called Vera Roy (Adriana Ugarte) attempts to save him and uncover weird mysteries . She tries to find out a solution around the threatening and bizarre incidents , but things go wrong. As the desperado woman tells these events but no one sees to believe except for a police Inspector (Chino Darin). For whom you would stop the time !

Fascinating concept built into a suspenseful story with exciting twists.
After The Body, The Invisible Guest, and now this, Oriol Paulo has become one of my faviourite directors. Just wonderful!
The ending is a bit weak, but nevertheless a highly fascinating and enjoyable ride!
As a movie this one is a solid 7/10 - 8/10, as a fan for both the genre and the director, I gave it 9/10.

Overall I have to say that it's an ok movie, not terrible by any means. However compared to other great movies/series from the same genre it lacks quite alot in my opinion. There are some plot holes and things that happen that doesn't make sense at all but you can still find enjoyment while whatching !
Dont expect some time travel masterpiece but rather a mediocre movie that can still grab your attention from time to time and remind you that time travel movies are always worth watching even though sometimes they are not that special.

I watched Paulo's 3 movies continues, The body, The invisible guest and Mirage. All movies are so good.
I watched so many movie about time travel so it isn't a new subject for me but its very thrilling with suspense & butterfly effect.
The bad thing about movie is, it's not much shocking as invisible guest but it is good ride.
I feel like need more detail about aftermath in the end.
Anyway interesting parallel universe.

If you are up for some light entertainment from a great concept, Mirage has a satisfactory overall storyline. But don't expect too much from the details. There are many unlikely decisions made by the characters, leaving the viewer thinking ... why? I would love to see the basic elements of this story tweaked into a more believable plot. Doesn't tick enough boxes.

I was getting ready to switch off, as I struggle with dubbed films, but after a few minutes I was gripped, even with the dubbed voices. The story was fantastic, very original, very intelligent, finally a film where the audience weren't treated as idiots. The acting was superb, the production values terrific, all helped to drive home the layered and comes story.
It had me questioning the whole way through, and left me guessing right until the end. This is one impressive movie. 9/10

Being excessively binary, either you are ultra-rational and you will probably feel that this story is far-fetched, either you have a strong appetite for the 'Twilight Zone' atmospheres, and you should love this movie. If I have to be categorized, I clearly belong to the second category: I liked this story which establishes a literally extra-ordinary connection between Nico (a 12-year-old kid living in 1989) and Vera (a 30-year-old mother living in 2014), thanks to a vhs recorder and an unconventional storm. Thus, the mother prevents the death, 25 years earlier, of this teenager which implies the passage from one space-time to another: a complete new life for her, without her daughter but with the full memory of the ancient life, especially her daughter, now nonexistent. What a nightmare! But, she definitely wants her ancient life back.
These are the first 15 minutes. The continuation is to be discovered and enjoyed !

After Watching The Invisible Guest, I searched about This man and found out he made some other movies. He nailed it again in this on. Mirage is treasure for anyone who loves movies about parallel universes.

In a film industry so over saturated with rip off and remakes it was refreshing to see something so refreshingly original even if it was a Netflix special. Whilst at times it was a little predictable there was enough other twists along with a great general premise and some great performances to make this more than worthwhile and a thoroughly entertaining time despite its occasional flaws. Well worth a watch.

I loved the Butterfly Effect and was interested to see this as a Netflix movie after being very disappointed in others such as Triple Frontier and Velvet Buzzsaw.
Well all I can say is that Netflix has redeemed itself greatly with this offering, great characters, great performance and a great story, murder, tension and parallel time arcs thrown in.
It has a feel good ending matching four weddings but is so technically we'll crafted you forget all the complexities that have been woven into this movie.
If you love murder mysteries, time travel, suspense or even good old fashioned love stories then this is definitely for you.
A word of advice, alter the settings in netflix and watch in the original language with English subtitles, dubbing is not a good way to enjoy foreign cinema

Yeah, we've seen this premise before where someone from the present connects with someone from the past, but none were as captivating as 'Mirage' (in my opinion).
The film starts in 1989, with a young boy, Nico Lasarte, going to his neigbour's house when he hears a commotion. When he sees Mrs Weiss dead on the floor and her husband Angel with a knife, he flees the scene and killed when being hit by a car.
In present time, Vera is married to David and they have a daughter named Gloria. They move into the house where Nico stayed 25 years ago. In a storeroom, they find Nico's video camera and TV. One night, Vera is awakened by the sound of the TV, and when she goes to look, she sees Nico through the TV - back in 1989 on the night of his accident. Being told of Nico's fate by his friend Aitor - who is now friends with Vera and David - she warns Nico not to go outside.
In the process, Vera alters the past, which changes the life she is living at the moment. Now, she doesn't have a daughter, and David is in a relationship with Ursula, and doesn't know Vera. Desperate to find answers and make sense of everything, she goes to the police, where Inspector Leyra tries to help her solve the mystery.
Every bit of detail and dialogue in the beginning of the movie is very important for the events later, so pay close attention. Saying too much will result in spoilers, so lets just say 'Mirage' takes the viewer on a roller coaster ride of twists and unexpected reveals.

Brilliantly put together and to me it had a stranger things feel to it. I do like a good time travel story and this is up there with back to the future and the butterfly effect.

I am normally not interested in these types of movies. They are becoming more and more the new norm. It is often difficult to follow but I enjoyed it. Acting is very good.
