2.5/4
The film allows Maura to mutate from the vulnerability of a woman grappling with long-suppressed trauma to the deranged glee of someone enjoying causing their victim pain. Go to Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Feb 26
2/4
While director and screenwriter Martín Mauregui does work in elements of dark comedy and reflects on how the dark chapters in history leave a lasting bloody imprint, all the wickedness wears thin near the end even if Maura and Hendler keep us watching.

3/5
We’re here for the chance to appreciate Maura’s impeccable timing and charismatic screen presence. It’s not a deep work, but it’s relentlessly fun if you’re not squeamish Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 1d
Skillfully handled as it is, there’s also a certain claustrophobic theatricality to this single-setting, one-note exercise in mingled black comedy and sadism. Throwing themselves into strenuous roles, these performers nonetheless deserve better material. Go to Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies Feb 27

[T]he whole movie has a level of uneasiness that has nothing to do with the terrors this character inflicts. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Feb 27
