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 Alejandro C @RT71669252 1d The movie seems to be going great as a thriller, even neo noir with a love triangle plot, but mid movie or so becomes bland and trivial, full of so what scenes and anti climatic outcomes. I dont expect killings or big plots with transcendental issues, but man, at least some spice. The storyline is very enticing, backdrop of Fuerteventura greatly played against these seemingly out of context characters, but then, it all becomes Mr Smith and Mrs Smith chatting about the garden with a cup of tea... And the protagonist had so much potential to be at the center of a plot full of twists and great dialogues, but he is wasted on a kidney pie melodrama for grandaunts in a Leeds suburbian retirement home...

He was excellent. It's got lonely sad rich people looking for meaning and a camel. I didn't feel good at the end. 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.
