Durante la tormenta

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.
