Polished in a serviceable manner, Spider has a studio feel.

This elegantly told tale of the diverging fates of a gang of right-wing radicals in the pre-coup d'état Chile of the early 70s is both as human and as political in its concerns as you'd expect from Wood.

It splendidly captures a fragment of the political history of Chile, but it doesn't provoke me even the remotest emotion with its hollow characters and its socio-political parable about the nefarious consequences of the far-right. [Full review in Spanish]

Spider works better when it's a period drama about a right-wing rebellion than it does when it's a political thriller; its failure to do both equally well weakens the film, but doesn't necessarily kill it.

The key, once again in Andrés Wood's filmography, is in Chilean society's classism, an obsession that became more complex and attractive throughout his work. [Full review in Spanish]

Explotado y repetido guión dónde convenientemente siempre son los mismos hechos y personajes que le dan trama a un submundo para aquellos que han sabido sacar réditos económicos a la historia.!

Best Chilean movie so far! it's pretty hard to find do. I recommend getting Stan (the Australian version of Netflix) and using a VPN such as NordVPN to be able to watch it.

Brilliant and scary work by chilean director Andrés Wood about a period that we hope will not return in Latin American countries.

No soy el único espectador chileno aburrido del cine mítico de izquierda de los años del fallido gobierno socialista de Allende. Películas de los '70, años a los que arrojan demonios con los que algunos no se aburren de fantasear; y no menos excitación les causa aleccionar a los demás hasta el hartazgo sobre sus preferencias políticas teñidas de superioridad moral. En la película se tratan grandes temáticas de la sociedad chilena, pero tratadas de manera obvia, simplista y burda, con las que se perdieron la oportunidad de hacer una película más cercana a la vida real.
