Angela L Feb 8 I dont get the high positive review for this movie. I found it slow and boring with no point. See more caldera Feb 8 Horrible no pointt what so ever See more Remy Feb 1 Don't know where they were going with the movie but enjoyed it enough for the vibes See more Justin T @RT20830295 Jun 29 All the essential noir ingredients make an appearance: chiaroscuro lighting, a femme fatale with a secret, a controlling husband with a dangerous plan, a dogged detective, a disappearance, a double (perhaps even triple) cross, and enough narrative misdirection to keep us questioning what's real almost until the final moment. D.P. Sarmiento Grisales composes nearly every frame as though it were meant to be hung on a wall: sunlight shimmering across sand, the melancholy debris of a hotel room after another anonymous night, figures dwarfed by desolate landscapes. Most unforgettable is the image of a helicopter lifting a body from the ocean while tiny, shadowed figures watch from a distant cliff. It captures everything Gerster has been building toward: beauty, isolation, and nature's unsettling indifference to human drama. The sea has rarely looked so simultaneously beautiful and apocalyptic.

And it’s possible that Dave and Anne’s child is actually Tom and Anne’s child. And who knows if she’ll have another child? If she does, we know who the father is. And it’s definitely a film about marriage and how long someone wants to live drifting through life, living a hedonistic life that gives no purpose. I loved the film, the questions it raised, and the incredible setting in the Canary Islands.

The ending was a surprise until it happened, then I said to myself, "Of course." See more Read all reviews
