4/10
Not that clever

Warning: Spoilers
I generally don't write reviews but the high rating of this movie compelled me to do it.

This isn't a 7/10 movie, not even close, nor the premise is "so clever" as many users said. In fact the movie's closure opens so many plot holes that it seems almost like a Swiss cheese.

There are more movies in the same line, The Caller (for instance) is one of them, one which I didn't like also.

The performances are good, really, specially by the mother, but the story isn't that original, and when we see a movie that plays with time it has to be well done, because plot holes are easy to unfold. That's not the case, nor this is an horror movie as proclaimed, it defrauds the viewers expectations. This is a family drama with some thriller appointments. The mothers make up (when she is old) is not credible also.

I would give this movie a 5/10 for the great effort with a low budget and the actors performances, but the expectations delivered from the high ratings here had obliged me to give a 4/10 for the disappointment.
