What is left by the movie in our mind is something that everyone must deal with their own conscience. Impeccable movie. [Full Review in Spanish]

A feature that blurs the line between right and wrong, creating an internal conflict that makes for a hugely provocative production.

Rated: 4/5

Lafosse's performance-reliant approach is honoured by a very committed set of acting turns, Lindon's in particular.
