3/5
This is a worthwhile, twisty little thriller with some genuinely smart ideas within. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 12/09/2022
2/5
An act of supernatural vengeance and a whoppingly crude metaphor for the western fashion industry’s shameful history of exploiting southeast Asian labour markets. If you insist on a message, it should be buried deeper than this. Go to Full Review

Graham M 3d A good warning to us all. Watch who you let into your home. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 26 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stoner J @Stoner Oct 13 Maybe a tad above mediocre See more Hugo S Apr 3 Suffering from memory loss and mental breakdown, a woman shows signs of a mysterious illness not recognised or treatable by conventional medicine. The arrival of a domestic carer, a Philippine woman adept of folk remedies, brings hope to the troubled family. The promising mystical aid soon reveals to be an act of revenge for a past tragedy. "Nocebo" is a psychological thriller that uses paranormal elements to examine the exploitation of those who are socially disadvantaged. Despite not being particularly scary, the movie excels in its social commentary on the toxicity of capitalism, especially the parasit relationship between the wealthy and the poor. What goes around comes around! See more Ricardo d Jan 25 Um roteiro simples e previsível. Bom trabalho de atuação das protagonistas, uma bela crítica dos problemas de trabalho escravo, vida social e familiar na atualidade. Os efeitos não são tão bons. See more ken z Dec 29 There was one scene when the spoon fell, it was such a great introduction of Diana (Filipinos have superstition about utensils, a spoon dropping is a sign that a woman is arriving unexpectedly). I definitely knew this film is gonna be great. Miss Chai, you are so underrated and she played this character very well. See more Read all reviews
