A waste of potential
17 October 2023
I rarely find a film boring, I like when films are slow, but this one was painful to watch. For over an hour I was wondering whether there was any story to be told at all, later on lots of things start to happen that just add an unnecessary layer of complexity. The core story was interesting, but they didn't have enough material for 2 hours.

What's more infuriating is the ending, you just get wondering what was the purpose of all that drama if things were going in that direction without any development in between. Actually, instead of wasting time with unnecessary complexity, why not explore how the things Rebeca and Marc discovered would have impacted their mental health? Would they have very paradoxical feelings? Would they fight with each other because of different views in the matter? Instead we get an end that seems to come out of nowhere. Or if they definitely didn't want to go in this direction, they should have made a much shorter film.

The acting was good and the photography fantastic. The way they chose to tell the story was also very creative. But that's not enough to save this film.
