    Couple of good images, not a single good scene.

    As a spanish person whose family suffered the dictatosrhip through the XX century, this has been one of my most powerful cinematic experiences. It encarnates the trauma of war and repression in such a delicate, profound and sensitive way. It doesn't rush, it doesn't scream, but whispers and reveals itself in the silence and the absence of a stolen time. Simply wonderful.

    I didn't get it. Which is kind of weird, because I'm basically the perfect target for this movie. I'm a trans person, a nineties kid, have suffered from dysphoria, conservative parents... But I just don't get it. I see a lot of cisgender men writing the exact same phrase in their reviews: "I do not understand personally this feeling". This is (sorry to say it) a blatant lie, as if they're trying to protect themselves from the truth portrayed on…

    A masterclass on how to film a horror fable. Exquisite cinematography.
