[Director Paolo] Genovese then plays with the imagination of the viewer, who does not see what the characters say they did, or will do. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Emilio T @MilloTPue 11/02/2020 Between 3 and 3.5 stars. Solid, ellegantly crafted, well thought, it is also a little tricky and leads to no much conclussion but a general evaluation of human behaviour. So, very well done, but too much artifitial. See more 10/25/2020 Masterpiece. Plain and simple See more nefasto r @Nefasto 07/05/2019 The idea of this movie is simply brilliant and new, and I love "New" in the things I watch. Then I found out that is not new at all but is a cinematographic adaptation of the series "The Booth at the End"... but was new for me while watching it, so beside to have probably ruin the series for future me, I guess I can't take away the feeling of novelty. That, plus the fact that the movie is filled up with good actors and direction, and I found myself with a winner!
