Jesus and Jose Maria are siblings living in a closed-off world constructed of strange games, bursts of violence, relentless madness, and of course, The Wizard of Oz. When their half-sister Magdalena returns to Argentina from Spain to inquire about her share of their inheritance, their solution is to enmesh her in the weirdest family reunion of all time — a brilliant and bloody affair which may end in death for one or all. (Fantastic Fest)
(mehr)Kritiken (1)
A potentially interesting premise that could have been a psychological variation on Funny Games, but instead we got a boring intimate film without a shred of invention or anything interesting or shocking. The film is only 80 minutes long, but since it takes place in one house with three characters and nothing much happens, it makes you feel like it's two hours long. The ordinary life of two siblings is disrupted by the arrival of their half-sister who demands a share of the inheritance from their recently deceased father. The siblings don't like this and start playing mischievous games. It sounded interesting and maybe if the Spaniards were behind it, they could make an engaging, suspenseful and gripping thriller, but in its from Argentina and it didn't grab me at all. Occasionally there was some interesting dialogue and the atmosphere was slightly claustrophobic, but I couldn't get into it. A fan of cheap conversational flicks might find a taste for this. Story 3/5, Action 1/5, Humour 0/5, Violence 1/5, Fun 2/5 Music 2/5, Visuals 2/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 2/5, Actors 2/5. 4/10.
