O Fio Invisível

I watched with English audio.

I assume it makes more sense in Spanish. The Spanish title does.

Rescue Distance. It is the "thread" that makes it make sense. It is repeated continuously. And somebody chose Fever Dream instead?!

I have more questions. And very few answers.

Madres made sense. The poetry in this film seems lost in translation.

For this entire movie, you watch people alternate between losing their minds over nothing, under-reacting to major issues, and rambling about crack-pot theories. But you keep watching because the story is told so well that you find yourself sucked into it.

Then at one instant, you'll realize that the entire thing is essentially just an anti-science rant that's based on a serious lack of understanding of numerous topics. And that's not even a spoiler. Because the actual topic is so moronic and far-fetched that you would never guess it with 1000 tries.

They should have just gone with "It's aliens.". It's just as dumb, but at least it makes sense.

Fever Dream: a tale of a sickness upon the land, poisoned water, affecting horses and humans. Also a story about friendship and maternal love, and hate. A folk healer can "cure" the afflicted but at a cost. It involves the transmigration of spirits. This causes the "cured" (especially children) to act like changelings even appear like monsters to their loved ones. The horror here is predominately psychological but is no less effective than the gore/shock variety. The film does require close attention and perhaps even a second viewing but all the answers you seek to solve the mystery are within it. Not everything is as it seems at first glance and some characters show unexpected depths. An Eco-Folk Horror tale which you won't forget in a hurry. Directed by Claudia Llosa, adapted by Llosa and Samanta Schweblin from Schweblin's novel. On Netflix. 8/10.

Horses are dying. Birds are dying. Children are poisoned.

The ones who have been damaged say:"thread has already snapped" ..... We are far beyond the tipping point.

Mother's are looking for the answers.

Answer lies in the call from the nature: "Take us back to the green house(Earth)!"

Complex movie ..takes a while to process.

Fever dreams ... or crazy reality? And caused by what exactly? I am still rather confused by many things depicted by the movie. That may be enticing or it may be annoying to you. Depending on how much time and will you have to fully take this in and digest it ... well that will determine how much you probably will like it.

You can't just watch this while doing something else. Like having your phone and doing stuff on it while "watching" the movie. I have done this with lesser titles, so I am not judging. Some movies are more than predictable and do not really glue you to the screen. This is different ...
