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!

Yeah, this was a great film. The storyline was... amazing & unexpected & twisted. It's brilliant! Watch it...

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.

Personally, the movie is pleasantly surprising and enjoyable.

What worked:

• tight runtime and screenplay
• the setting, climate and cinematography
• surprise element

What didn't work; -As a mental health professional, I can see some ethical errors in the script regarding therapy.

Final verdict: Since it's runtime is short, you should give it a try. It's recommended.

The movie is done in a beautiful way. The simple setting and it being black and white keeps one in the uncomfortable feeling which is perfect for this genre.

While the feeling of suspense remains for the whole movie one still has the feeling that one knows exactly how it ends. Yet at the end one still ends up getting a surprise and is satisfied that the movie ended up being not as simple as one expected.

Great acting as well. The two main actresses are fully in their characters and keep us watching by contributing to the psycho thriller with their acting.
