Johann D. M 🇨🇴 Esta película dramática narra la historia de una refugiada colombiana desterrada por el conflicto armado que intenta rehacer su vida en una casa de huéspedes ubicada a orillas de un gran lago en los Andes, en medio del silencio, la bruma y el agua. Con un ritmo excesivamente lento, no cumple las expectativas y se empeña en formular más preguntas sobre la historia que en contar o mostrar lo que realmente sucede en ella. Se siente incompleta y sin un propósito aparente, excepto el de mostrar bellos paisajes que bien se podrían ver en un álbum fotográfico. Puede que sea muy realista en ciertos aspectos, pero a veces esa cotidianidad aburre en el sentido cinematográfico. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Loved it, very grey and depressing yet very real. Could smell it, the water, the reeds... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie was compelling especially for me since I have experienced death of a loved one. I think when a person comes face to death or survival you become more sensitive to people who are facing it or walking through it. I really liked this movie La Sirga. With people who are facing tragedy or trying to survive comes more understanding and compassion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Outstanding examination about the unseen horrors of war and its effects on individuals trying to live ordinary lives in Andes mountains. Great use of sound and the refusal of the director/screenwriter to highlight causes and effects forces the viewer to pay close attention to the smallest details, because nothing is presented in crayon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member this ios the 4th time i'm re-doing this Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member En verdad que no hay explicación para esto, que cosa tan podrida, tan mala, tan falta de todo, con actores ridículos y una historia brutalmente mala. Quien les financia esto? porque? Mala, aburrida y sin sentido. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
