Jonathan Holland Variety A slick, derivative, too-obvious psychodrama with a superficially stylish air that's too thin to conceal its lack of substance. Jul 18, 2006 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena As timas atuaes de Ariadna Gil e do garotinho Muoz, associadas fotografia dessaturada e montagem que constri um clima cada vez mais inquietante, merecem aplausos. Infelizmente, o roteiro falha gravemente em seu desfecho. Rated: 3/5 Jul 18, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Me gustó bastante la película Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Una visión extraña, paranormal? En definitiva una película original, de un final inesperado? A veces se sospecha, no por eso deja de ser impactante, además el final es el que realmente aporta el sentido a la historia, deja buen sabor de boca.... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member En DVD Interesante historia "sobrenatural", inquietante, que te mete un no se que en el cuerpo y un final inesperado. Una buena composicion musical bastante original y actuaciones aceptables. Con doble lectura, tal vez mas, plantea muchas cosas y situaciones que alguna ve todos o algunos hemos vivido. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I had to give my own 4 stars for this because I was absolutely terrified, hahaha~~ I am easy to scare maybe. But the movie freaked me out nonetheless. However, I don't know if she's loony or her family had been absorbed into that faerie realm.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Very far from perfect, but worth the watch, especially for fans of the genre. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A very confusing plot. Could be better. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
