El guardián invisible

The detective is personally very sympathetic. She, however, does not do much detecting. The Invisible Guardian is making a moral point rather than telling a mystery. The movie is slow and 25 minutes too long. The second half is better than the first half as the moral point comes to the fore in the second half. The title makes no sense. Perhaps something is lost in the translation.An acceptable movie during a stay at home order.

This film is about a female investigator assigned to work a serial killer case involving the deaths of adolescent girls from her hometown. Her family owns and runs a bakery but she chose to go to the US to train with the FBI rather than work there. Within her family there are hard feelings about her career decision but she stays the course, working the case to the best of her ability. There's village folklore about a "basajaun" (a beast similar to our bigfoot) that comes into play and leads to the killer's title being "The Basajaun Killer." Can she overcome the issues that haunt her family life and herself doubt and bring a monster to justice?

I liked this. I thought it was filmed well with great settings and a dark atmosphere. I didn't have any complaints about the acting and felt that, for the most part, the actors did a great job bringing out each character's personality and perspective. I liked having a bit of mythology thrown into the mix to keep things interesting.

My only complaints would be that the pace seemed to drag at times and there were bits of the story that could've used a little more attention. I did enjoy it though and wouldn't mind suggesting it to a friend.

I needed a movie to brush up on my Spanish. I randomly chose this film knowing nothing and left confused thinking I forgot all my Spanish. Then I read the reviews and realized, nope, it's just a confusing film. I scoured the internet to find out if anyone knew why Amaia's mother despised her. I said to myself, I must've missed it...maybe, I need to watch it with English subtitles. Au contraire, the film didn't disclose that information. No worries, you find out in the second installation, "The Legacy of Bones". Thank you to reviewer what's his face for the tip. I won't tell you why she loathes her, so go watch the second one to find out.

The Invisible Guardian is part of a trilogy based on books written by Delores Redondo: The Invisible Guardian, The Legacy of the Bones, and Offering of the Storm. The Invisible Guardian is a mystery thriller about murders of young women. Amaia is the detective investigating the murders while confronting her past.

What is there to hate about this film? Well, first, does the place ever stop raining? It rained so much, it distracted me from the film. Then second, the mythological being. I'm all about folklore, fantasies, tales, etc. Unfortunately, they failed to integrate it well in this film. It seems disjointed and misplaced. Next, the father's decision to not turn his wife into the police baffled me. Just why?!!! The film is a little boring, the hatred toward Amaia is undeserved and implausible. And I CANNOT get over the sister eating the cookie that was sitting on a dead woman's pubis. My spirit cried when I saw this. I refuse to believe any detective would allow this. Plus, this detective is the most emotional one I've seen on TV. Between her tears and the rain, it's a miracle the townsmen didn't drown. Amaia is a weak, subservient character who should find a different line of work. How is she considered competent?! Oh, and there is a useless character in the film who gives Amaia advice (Insert face of disapproval).

The film has redeeming qualities. The acting was great, the scenery matched the mood too well (dark and moody film), it's mysterious, pacing is on point some of the time, and despite me disliking the film, it's still watchable albeit in multiple stretches. Since I have watched the second movie, I recognize it would've been best as a series and not three separate film. Oh and the sex scenes should be removed. It's not needed in this film. I wanted to end on a positive note but failed, I apologize.

Closer to reality then a Sherlock Holmes on the one hand, but intriguing mystery blended in on the other. I do like the depth of the history/youth of the inspector, gives her more character and well acted emotions all the way. So this movie basically has several good points that could interest a broad audience. And it deserves it, good build up and pace, I'm sure many will enjoy this movie.

I gotta say i enjoyed this movie from Spain.Never be put off by a review!Good atmosphere creation ...with the rainy weather?Characters are plausible,basic yet realistic psychology.interesting session of card reading!Made me want to visit a certain area of Spain too!Give it a try!
