The film brings resilience into play as a resource to deal with extreme situations, something notable in times when the habitual look is victimized. [Full Review in Spanish]

Shock Therapy R

A sentimental piece that was written for a few people that knew him. The writing does not allow the viewer to develop any feeling for the deceased. There is some empathy for the widow and her two children who formulate their own strategies for overcoming their young fears. There is a good story here, but not an impactful or instructive one for the viewer experience. At best, the director hopes that the viewer is pulled in by the children's experience with grief alone. Yet jut because fathers, or family in general die, does not necessarily mean they were worthy of our tears. This movie feels self-referential without drawing in the viewer.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
