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.

Yeah, this was a great film. The storyline was... amazing & unexpected & twisted. It's brilliant! Watch it...
Movies who play mostly in one location are not everyones cup of tea. In this case you have two female actors who have to figure stuff out. Of course there is more to it and the question is how much you are willing to give in to enjoy this movie. The pacing is not the best and there are some sexual themes in there (and some nudity as well).
But everything makes sense and it is tension filled. Performances are great too, even if and when you find some things annoying. Of course some behaviour may also seem questionable, but bear with it. Characters can be difficult and not everyone reacts the same. Also be aware there was another movie called Veronica that was more Horror specific than this one (I almost didn't watch this because I thought it was the other one - also spanish language), but more cliches and way more predictable too

Personally, the movie is pleasantly surprising and enjoyable.
What worked:
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.
What worked:
- tight runtime and screenplay
- the setting, climate and cinematography
- surprise element

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.
