A Hospedeira

This movie feels very long-winded and drawn out. There are so many different threads that don't really tie up together very well. I think it was trying to be unpredictable, but that didn't work. It is very 'Hitchcock-esq', with references to Psycho and other Hitchcock movies. It also feels film noir.

The cast are very strong and do their very best with the story/plot. It just doesn't gel together well.

We begin with a man in debt, working for a bank, he likes to gamble, a lady deposits 50,000 pounds, he gambles, he loses.....it goes on and he eventually ends up at this fancy guest house with an attractive host, who isn't as she appears. He disappears. His brother then hits the trail to search for her. The cops are in there too, and a burger bar man. Shall I continue? No, let's not.
