The Wail When Horror Drowns in Its Own Yawn
Pedro Martín Calero delivers an Argentine supernatural thriller that promises the moon and hands you an eternal sigh. Ester Expósito shines, but the script loses itself in its own labyrinth of tears.
Claqueta Ácida acid rating
"Ester Expósito has made us suffer through 33% of their reviewed films. While retaining occasional sparks that once earned a 5.8, their track record is handled in our newsroom with latex gloves and extreme caution." — Claqueta Ácida Editorial Staff (Odín Lagbert)
«Acepta el reto físico de huir con un alijo de drogas defendiendo la pantalla con una presencia magnética y sudorosa.»
«Ester lleva la pantalla a un temblor constante, su energía es la única chispa en medio del lodo narrativo.»
«Expósito demuestra que puede actuar más allá de los close-ups de Instagram, aunque el guion le regala diálogos que parecen sacados de un manual de autoayuda para fantasmas.»
