Anton Bitel Little White Lies at times near Hitchcockian in its suspense, the film catches us between a rock and a hard place, in this case a man who seems utterly irredeemable, and a young woman so affectless and unresponsive that any characterisation can be projected onto her. Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Seattle Film Blog In Juanma Bajo Ulloa's unusual thriller, Ana Álvarez's Leire inadvertently becomes part of a twisted love triangle. Though she doesn't ride off into the sunset at the end, she emerges triumphant simply by surviving the ordeal. Rated: 3/4 Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member "Olha eu sou um cara mau pra kct... matei a mãe e ainda atirei na filha e deixei ela retardada...ouhhaaaaaha". Aí de repente vemos essa mesma pessoa vestida de palhaço tentando animar a garota acorrentada na cama, porque "ela não ri". Não rolou como filme. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Um homem mata mulher num assalto; a única testemunha, filha da vítima, é reencontrada anos mais tarde numa clínica para doentes mentais. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A twisted story of love and redemption by one on Spain's finest filmmakers. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member anyone who like strange movie.....this is one of them....don't miss it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Between 2 and 2.5 stars. Aesthetics, music and even inner motivations are brilliante, but lack of coherence and sense of development of story (the way the character uses violence at the end is comical on purpose, but makes it even more unrealistic) makes you can not take it seriously. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
