I watched this movie on Netflix, expecting a conventional crime drama. I was surprised to discover a sensitive, complex and accurate film. The characters, based on a real case, are designed in a subtle, but powerful way, by the actors and the director. The film is not satisfied with just bringing the story to the viewer, but also manages to formulate an interesting statement on the feminist issue, referring to Chile in the 1950s. The main actress, in the role of Mercedes, plays a complex and multi-layered character, and she does it very successfully, in my opinion, on the one hand, she plays a restrained and introverted role, but at the same time she manages to express the drama that takes place inside her in an impressive way and is highly recommended.
I think this is my favorite Netflix watch this month. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The pace perfectly matches the main character's personality. While watching it, I believe I found the peace the main character, Mercedes, seeks. The film is subtly profound.
The void and regret she feels are incredibly relatable qualities and I found myself totally immersed in the story and in her personal journey. I enjoyed the timepieces including the furniture and the fashion of the time so beautifully displayed. I look forward to reading more about the real people behind the headlines and will search for more Chilean films.

We've got plenty of feminist work in cinema but this story of intruding takes an honest look at the past. It reminds us how social immobility and income inequality is as old as gender disparity. While we celebrate what was allowed to us the question remains as to what happened to the other two battle fronts. While confinement become a home away for one, The other gets pushed into squatting and ideologically they cross paths to shed one layer of shackles. Flawless acting by the cast. Great cinematography and music. El Luga De La Otra is a radical movie that reminds both women and men of unfinished business.
! This film is, without a doubt, one of the best movies I've seen in recent years. From the very beginning, it pulls you into its world with a captivating story and a perfectly paced narrative that never feels rushed or slow. The script is incredibly well-written, filled with emotional depth, clever dialogue, and powerful moments that stay with you long after the film ends.
The performances by the cast are absolutely phenomenal. Every actor brings their character to life in a way that feels completely genuine and believable. The lead role, in particular, is played with such intensity and vulnerability that it's impossible not to be moved. The chemistry between the characters adds another layer of richness to the story, making every scene more impactful.
Visually, the movie is stunning. The cinematography is beautiful, with breathtaking shots and artistic camera work that enhances the mood and tone of the film. The use of lighting and color is thoughtful and deliberate, contributing to the emotional atmosphere in a subtle yet powerful way.

A very beautiful movie about the burdens and exhaustions of women, the woman searching for herself and finding it in peace and privacy.
When a woman finds a place for herself to elevate herself and live her own time, it becomes a refuge, as she said, "I am tired of the noise. I want some peace." Stories always present some kind of female role that focuses on motherhood or maturity. You have not found a film like this about the desire for peace and tranquility and the restoration of the soul. I loved it and wanted it very much.
A very wonderful and very calm movie that touched me deeply and I believe that the story has roots or is an adaptation of a previous story.
A wonderful, wonderful, very nice movie.
