deasyria Very good and great plot. Really enjoyed it despite Spanish subtitles.
pattiwitten Beautifully shot and designed, this film has only a few flaws. The engaging plot centers around the gritty yet fragile lead investigator whose family history is key to unraveling the mystery of a series of murders as well as the murderer's identity. There is a fantasy angle that is easy to discount if you are following the realistic mystery and action, but the melancholic photography reminds you that something more is perhaps going on. I think the ending falls a bit short - as if the "guardian" is tacked on and too easily ties everything up neatly - but it is a very satisfying film in many ways. Recommended.
thanhquyennguyen The story line wasn't very realistic for then handling crime scenes, not dealing with conflict of interests and portrait her was weak for a detective. If she was a detective and good at what she does not sure why she called her Mentor.The overall plot was interesting. Would have been more believable if these issues were addressed.
nicolopulcinelli I recently discover thanks Netflix interesting Spanish movies like this and "Contratiempo". Very good thrillers with a lot of suspanse and plot twists. In particular, this movie keeps your eyes on the screen for every minute until the final epilogue. In addition, the actress that plays Amaia is very expressive and well immersed in the role. I also like the rainy atmosphere. I recommend it!
