jade s génial, scénario top Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/22 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting movie, the best thriller ; combination of a horror, drama , recommend it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member With an original script, the director fails to provide some entertainment or anything to say Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It loses its way by the third act but there's no denying that the build up with the child actors is really great; unfortunately the ludicrous ending almost undoes all that went before. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Situado na Catalunha, Insensibles mescla duas histórias: em uma, que se passa durante a Guerra Civil Espanhola e segue até os anos 1960, mostra um asilo que tenta reabilitar crianças que não sentem dor, ensinando-lhes sofrimento físico. Na segunda, que ocorre no tempo presente, um brilhante neurocirurgião precisa de um transplante de medula óssea e acaba descobrindo esse passado sombrio quando inicia uma procura por seus pais biológicos. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Mielenkiintoinen tarina kärsii paikoin tylsästä toteutuksesta ja lopun urpoilu tiputtaa loppufiiliksen "ihan ookoo" -tasolle...
