The film allows Maura to mutate from the vulnerability of a woman grappling with long-suppressed trauma to the deranged glee of someone enjoying causing their victim pain. Go to Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Feb 26
2/4
While director and screenwriter Martín Mauregui does work in elements of dark comedy and reflects on how the dark chapters in history leave a lasting bloody imprint, all the wickedness wears thin near the end even if Maura and Hendler keep us watching.

3/5
We’re here for the chance to appreciate Maura’s impeccable timing and charismatic screen presence. It’s not a deep work, but it’s relentlessly fun if you’re not squeamish Go to Full Review Leandro Ariel Porcelli Cinéfilo Serial Mar 21
9/10
A brilliant Carmen Maura leads this intriguing psychological thriller that balances cliches with some nice tension and plenty of dark humour typical of both it's spanish and argentine origins. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Mar 9
Skillfully handled as it is, there’s also a certain claustrophobic theatricality to this single-setting, one-note exercise in mingled black comedy and sadism. Throwing themselves into strenuous roles, these performers nonetheless deserve better material. Go to Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies Feb 27
2.5/4
[T]he whole movie has a level of uneasiness that has nothing to do with the terrors this character inflicts. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Mar 29 Carmen Maura gives a fantastic performance in this odd, "Misery" type horror movie. I love the beginning of the movie but felt that it fell apart concluding with a disappointing ending.
