Tiempo compartido

I don't bother writing reviews very often anymore and I doubt I would've written one for this film either had I not stumbled across a terrible review. Clearly the other reviewer hated this film and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but their brutal dismissal was one I just couldn't abide with.

Is this a fast-paced thrill a minute adventure? No.

Is it a side-splitting comedy? No.

Does it make any brilliant societal observation? No.

Does it have to accomplish any of those things to be a good, successful, entertaining film? No.

The film is beautiful. Its colors, locale, music and meandering pacing give it a mellow dreamlike quality - like, perhaps... a vacation at a resort.

The primary conflict is one that one annoy the crap out of any of us.

The events that evolve (or devolve, if you will) or two protagonists from their innocuous introduction to the destructive consequences of their encouter are perfectly ambiguous but there are also more than enough clues to explain them.

A beautiful and compelling movie. Hardly a must-see or an entry on anybody's top 100 but not bad at all.

This Netflix movie doesn't know what it wants to be. It's is a big mix of charm, oddness, is a touch comedic, and there's a strong dash of threat and tension too, but it never takes full advantage of any of those elements. Good looking and with a great soundtrack, this could have been better.

Tiempo Compartido (or Time Share for the English title) is a Mexican drama/mystery from Sebastián Hofmann. I thought the cinematography was pretty good, with a well chosen soundtrack that helped the story to remain suspenseful. I can't deny the story was intriguing and that made it worth watching but the ending was a bit disappointing which ultimately will bring the ratings down. The acting wasn't bad, no Oscar winning performances though. In short, I watched way worse movies in this genre than this one, but would I watch it again in the future? The answer to that is simple and is no, but it's worth a watch.

Either I was tired or this was a concept that did not get off the ground. Time Share challenges the viewer to look into the concept of family, while involving some sort of brainwashing pyramid scheme. Honestly, it leaves the viewer unsure of what the plot or main focus should be. I did not find anything to be funny in this film.

I think that this movie had some really funny parts...I just feel like I thought that this movie was on a different path than it ended up to be...and I also don't think that I understand what was so horrific or scary about it at all...I'd say since it's on Netflix why not give it a twirl...you'll get some laughs...but mediocre at best...
