    Good watch

    The movie kept you guessing with an interesting ending. I suspect those who rated it low, simply did not 'get it.' An interesting sci-fi, worth the watch.

    Weird yes, but if you don't like weird, why are you watching?

    I understand the negative reviews, as this movie is bleak and at times visually disturbing, however it certainly stays with you for a long time after viewing - which is more than can be said for a lot of modern movies.

    It's a Kafka-esque mindtwister, and there are no unicorns and rainbows. It quite literally portrays what would happen to a few humans, some related, some complete strangers, mentally and physically if they were trapped in a spacial, but not temporal, loop.

    If you want neat and happy endings, on-message moralising, famous comforting faces, this is not for you. It's not high-budget, and it's not going to win any Oscars, but it's an interesting idea, portrayed with terrifying realism. It's claustrophobic, limited settings are more akin to a screenplay, though the Mexican hills certainly make for a hauntingly beautiful backdrop to the road story.

    If you like Borges, PKD, glitch_in_the_matrix, etc., certainly check it out, you won't be un-entertained. But be warned, it's... pretty weird.

    Definitely not a waste of time - just not for everyone...

    Wow - I was greatly surprised by the idea in this movie.

    So happy to realize it's a mexican production as well.

    It brings an interesting concept based on alternate/parallel realities/dimensions, time loops and reincarnation...with its own new ideas, that add up to the genre - making it a quite original movie.

    Since the characters are all sort trapped in a specific time/space area - such as in a maze -, it reminded me the super classic "The Cube". This movie really transmits this feeling of suffocation and forsakenness.

    The movie is dark, disturbing and puzzling. You gotta follow up details.

    So it's really not a "relaxing" movie. Same happens with "The Cube" - it really achieves the same atmosphere.

    Acting was good enough - sometimes a little bit overreacted in my opinion - but when the time comes, actors are able to display traits of insanity in a fantastic way.

    Such an event described in the movie can definitely push a mind beyond and make it break to pieces.

    The remaining ones, the survivors, are given a chance to end it all...

    If you are a fan of time loop movies, alternate realities, psychological dramas and mystery...you like movies such as "The Cube", or love Cronenberg's work...then give it a go - you won't be disappointed.

    This has easily become one of my tops dark SCI-FI movie!

    So happy I had the chance to see it!

    Brilliant Concept!

    I was quite surprised watching this movie. It was absolutely brilliant!!!! worth every watch at this time of global lockdown and isolation. I would highly recommend to everyone. Watch it with a glass of alcohol and do not think much...

    Rushed ending but impressive work

    The film is impressive: as all films that rely on great writing and acting, you are thrilled that your attention is constantly captivated. Human nature is displayed without explaining the obvious. Shots great and you are prepared for an ending you know is not going to be linear. And yet, some inconsistencies remain and are all rushed in all together at the end. Difficult to say without spoilering, but there is one story arch that leaves you puzzled despite the slightly overlong explanation provided, and combined with the rushed through shots of other resolutions it kind of defeats the explanation provided, which would have been otherwise fit just right and been perfectly satisfying. As a film that remains with you well after you've watched, it definitely deserves watching. Fantastic acting and great direction otherwise.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The location for the stairs was a real building located near the area of Churubusco in Mexico City. It was only 30% occupied at the time of the shooting, which is why they allowed the film to be shot on their emergency stairs. Most of the neighbors never even realized a film was shot at their emergency stairs, as they always took the elevator, but the crew used to laugh at how funny it would be if eventually a certain neighbor would want to take the stairs because the elevator was too slow or something like that, and find out an entire crew of 30 persons working there, drawings on the wall and a lot of crazy stuff. Eventually, it did happen, but the people who came in and found everything were not mad. They were, in fact, extremely surprised and happy, taking pictures of everything, as if they were entering a museum, and begging production designer Adelle Achar to never remove any of the art from their stairs.
