I tried to like this.

The good: the cinematography is, the lighting really does give it that awesome black/white contrast that makes the scenes pop. Andrea's acting is kinda great, I've never seen her in anything else, but he can transmit a lot of subtle emotion with her eyes and facial expressions (she really does look like she's going through a divorce and she can't hide how miserable she is as hard as she tries to).

The bad: everything else. Black and whitenfor the sake of making a black and white movie, very well implemented but not exploded to its full potential, since most of the scenes are in dark rooms. The dialogues, for the most part, are okay, but a lot of scenes make it come out as unnatural, which even ther best actor in the movie struggle to deliver. There's a couple of good performances, but most of the actors make a very poor job and make the whole movie feel worse.

It's quite a niche movie. Some people are calling it pretentious, but it felt very honest, the creators really wanted to portrait this story in this way cause they thought ir would better convey it's message, however they lack the experience to pull ir off and some of the ideas get lost in translation. I've also seen a lot of apologist for this independent south american film, but it can be better and we have to give good criticisim to help the director, writer and actors improve.
