Los renglones torcidos de Dios

Loved it - Up until the last second. Unnecessary. Incredible protagonist with a compelling story and mysteries. I really hope they pull off the sequel or sequels. I want it.

I gave it a 10 out of 10 and then the last second happened. I had to bring it down.

I don't understand the need, but am willing to let the writers tell the rest of the story as it comes.

I'm disappointed because now it brings the story back to where we were instead of taking us into the next chapter... I suppose we will see.

Wonderful characters, wonderful weave, incredible production design, incredible acting and directing. Overall a great production. Hollywood, take notes. This is how you create a strong protagonist, one with flaws - flaws we all have.

Oriol Paulo has important means for his film about a psychiatric hospital. With a beautiful work on the sets, costumes and, very important, the impressive decor of the psychiatric hospital where a good part of the film takes place. The film is sumptuous.

A film where the intrigue is to know if Barbara Lennie, patient of the psychiatric hospital, is well in her place, or not, that is to say is she reached of a mental disease or not. According to the points of view, according to the editing of the film, according to the flashbacks or the flashforwards, the answer differs. And it is the whole purpose of Oriol Paulo to succeed in making a film that holds the spectator in suspense until the end, until the last shot. The multiple subplots that the scenario agrees require an important work to the spectator to put back together the pieces and to make the links, and this permanently. This makes the film not seem long despite its 2h30 duration.

The film is also plastically a success: in terms of photography, sets and costumes. With a special mention to Barbara Lennie, who is in all the shots of the film, with a big work to carry all the components of her character.

Psychological thriller/drama-mystery film directed by Oriol Paulo (the man behind the original versions of Balda/Dobaara/Blurr)

I went into the film not knowing anything about the film, (you should as well; I'll spare the plot here) and halfway in, it had me like "what is the world is going on here?" as it is the case with most of this director's films.

The plot slowly unravels and makes you go "Ooooooohhhh...! Innterestinggg" and the end makes you question everything you've watched. Hella twists and turns throughout!

If you enjoy the joy of looking for answers, this one is surely for you. For the rest of you thriller junkies, this will be worth your time as well.

Another great movie by one of the top Spanish directors nowadays. As his other projects you get a fantastic dosis of suspense and will keep asking questions throught the film. A difficult book to adapt but the director manages to do it perfectly well. Really entertaining movie with quality. Eduard Fernández and Oriol Paulo are always a guarantee for movie lovers.. My advice is not to read a lot about the film. I also recommend checking the director's previous films. This has been the best year in Spanish cinema in a long time. Mistery, good acting and entertainment, enough for me. Turn on the tv and Enjoy...

Answer: You want to watch how it ends, and it catches you just after the first seconds, right until the last.

This movie is a performance in overall consistency, pace and quality. Certainly some of the best in 2022. Using a difficult subject (mental health), in a difficult place (a sanitarium with crazy people), with a difficult duration (2 and 1/2 hours), it manages to create an atmosphere, tensions, twists, attachment and beauty at all times, with charismatic actors handling all characters that you do not want to leave. These a signs of a very well crafted movie, giving a lot of care to details and to the audience, but without any easy writing or gratuitous eye candy.

Watch it, you won't be disappointed (except if you are looking for stereotypical and empty movies).
