A Ira de Deus

I love Spanish thrillers. This amazing Argentinean film is dark and beautifully directed.

The movie is not linear , may be that is reason people did not give good rates. Because most of the people now wants to be spoon fed.

The movie goes back and forth abruptly may confuse you little but that is actually get interesting when you get in to the flow. You will be glued until the end to know was it murder or just bad luck or act of god.

I am still not sure if I am with the girl or with the writer. I wasn't happy about the ending but still I loved it. The dialogues are so well written, so even the english translation was good.

Watch it if you like a good psychological thriller.

This could be a disconcerting film to some especially those who want a clear-cut ending. Some viewers might have expected quite a different outcome.

There is no quarrel about this stance. But what the film is trying to convey is that, in real life, what seems straightforward is not necessarily so. Could it be a streak of bad luck, a string of coincidences?

It's a well-scripted film. It's engaging and the viewer is hooked to find out how it will end. It was a surprise ending but something that is totally plausible.

The main actors dish out subdued and limned performances. Macarena Achaga, Diego Peretti and Juan Mimijin deserve praise.

The film makes you think of its basic point: is perfect revenge possible? It's apropos that it makes use of Odile and Odette as a cinematic device all the more to illustrate what we take for granted: that good and evil exist in this life.

Not knowing what it was I binge watched this movie. It wasn't a waste of time. I like psychologycal thrillers and this is one of the better ones. It's not too ,,scary,, but still makes you bang your head in the wall time to time. I recommend it to the ones who liked The girl on the train, Thelma or Sightless. You do have to have a certain taste to appreciate the movie as it is but you definitely should try.

The movie theme hinges on the wife reading the letter from the lawyer on him getting sued for sexual Harrasment because that provided the tragic motivation for the suicide and the murders.

The moral question to ask was? Is the sexual harassment case justified and did she give him signals. Did it have to escalate when she could of said no to the kiss or rationally just said it was a mistake and moved on. She obviously had feelings for him and religious guilt. A preacher's daughter should forgive but I can see why he did not forgive her after her being a catalyst for the suicidal death of his demented wife and tragic manslaughter of his daughter.

The ending was a surprise and it was worth watching if you enjoy trying to predict endings to psychological thrillers and you will be surprised.

The choosing by Netflix of Argentine premium male actors Peretti and Minujin to attract viewers could not make up for the wasting of a good script into a poor screenplay. Does not convey emotions, and the dramatism required in some scenes does not show up either. Dull. It is a one dimensional cardboard flick all the way.
