Saw the movie in the Guadalajara Film Festival. I was awed by the twists and turns the plot offers.
A stubborn patient trying to outsmart the psychologist at every chance she gets. The seemingly steady plot takes brusque change of directions at every chance, until you find yourself deep in thought of the profound meaning of everything that is happening on screen.
When credits appeared, I was still deep in thought trying to get a grip of what was shown on the screen and how it wakes sensible feelings and emotions inside myself.
Very interesting, complex and revealing movie!!
Not often is Mexican cinema immersed in this type of thrillers. Excellent direction, script, and acting. Congratulations to all involved!

Its the worst film I've seen and a shame there isn't a Zero rating. Its awful. People that give it so much stars and words of praise lied about watching all of it or they haven't seen it but think it's a different film called Veronica by Netflix. The film only has two people and most of it was in black and white. The ending made no sense and is not clever. Its just like watching paint dry.
During Guadalajara international film festival 2017, I had the opportunity to attend the screening of this movie.
In the film, we follow a reclusive psychologist living in a lonely cabin in the middle of the woods, that decides to take as a patient a seeming disturbed young woman, as the therapeutically sessions move forward a mystery of childhood traumas unravels
Now, that is a premise is not very often heard in Mexican cinema, this psychological thriller revives true hope in new stories and new themes for the Mexican film industry and most important to its audience.
Finally, I must mention that from a technical standpoint the movie is very good, shot in beautiful black & white and with excellent camera work.
Kudos to all the staff involved in the making of this film, for taking chances to bring something else to Mexican cinema.

It was better than i expected. A solid drama/mystery movie that keeps you guessing until the end. It's flawed but if you lower your expectations you will enjoy it, just don't expect prime Shyamalan/mindblowing twists. It's not easy to create a good mystery movie with a twist. Every theme, every twist have been explored, every story has been almost told. I have watched many mystery movies which fall apart by the ending. This didn't.
Not impressed by the acting. Still kinda above mediocrity. Actress were sufficient enough to make me care about their characters.
So, if you want to watch a good drama mystery movie, you will enjoy it. I liked it because it makes sense. It's not totally convincing but there are no plot holes and this is rare for a mystery movie nowadays. No ambiguity also. A one location movie which will keep your attention up until the ending.
