The film is engrossing, thanks to the director's skill at delivering sustained tension, and the excellent performances.

Pet sputters and pants its way to a kind of twist, one that's genuinely misogynist on the one hand but also too cretinous to be authentically repellent.

Rated: .5/4

The films zigs where you expect a depraved zag, resulting in a smart and unsettling tale ...

Monochrome dialogue pieces contrast with forced moments of emotion and it is at that moment that we wonder if the film would not have worked better as a more explicit parody. [Full review in Spanish]

Bloody Disgusting

Best viewed as a wacky horror romance filled with enough gallows humor to satiate the Coen Brothers.

Rated: 3.5/5

Next Projection

The tension ratchets up spectacularly and your blood pressure rises in the anticipation of what may lie behind the next corner.

I loved it! It’s a nice twist on the “creep kidnapping a helpless girl” trope. Very refreshing in my opinion.

Hum, par où commencer? Je ne m'attendais pas à grand chose, et j'ai été agréablement surpris. La détresse d'un homme près à tout pour l'amour, la manipulation avec les pêchés de chacun, beau travail. La psychologie des 2 personnages principales dans ce film est la seule chose qui est réellement perturbante. L'ambiance est correcte, au mieux bonne. !SPOILER! On découvre une victime pire que son geôlier, et ça, ça fait toujours plaisir dans ce genre de film.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Well... it was a movie, that's for sure. And it wasn't the worse movie. It kept me watching, so points for that. The photography was a decent quality. The acting was decent as well. So, yes, a movie that fulfilled the requirements of a decent production.
