Audience Member In a role that seems written specifically for her by her husband Fito Paez, Roth takes the viewer to a darkness as impressive as it is horrifying. Although a bit presumptuous, the surrealistic plot offers an unforgettable look at people who have been profoundly tortured to the point they can do nothing more than torture themselves. Con un papel que parece escrita especialmente para ella por su marido Fito Paez, Roth lleva al espectador a una oscuridad tan impresionante como horrorosa. A pesar de presuntuosa, la trama surrealista ofrece una mirada inolvidable de seres que han sido profundamente torturados hasta no poder hacer mas que torturarse ellos mismos. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the most amazing ending Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member una rara versión de Edipo con una escena que jamás podre borrar de mi cabeza, y con un buen reparto Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent cast. However, the plot is very unbelievable, or I should say, the director failed to convince me to believe this shocking relation between the 2 characters. And also, the whole film is terribly slow paced. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Fito la rompe como musico; pero en el cine tampoco le va muy mal!! la peli esta wenisima!!! unn buen reflejo de lo k es una dictadura y sus consecuencias y como estas desenlasan cosas tan locas a ratos!!! y a Gael Garcia le va muy bien el papel!!!!
