Conflicted
For once...the child actress was great. She really played her part extremely well. The rest of the movie....conflicted.
If you cut off your brain(or love reality shows) then this will come across as a taut thriller mystery. And it does keep you interested for about 40 minutes....then it falls off the rails..big time. It is very obvious that the director had another ending planned then either changed course(or was forced by studio) to do a different ending as the scenes in the later half of the movie did not match the beginning. The movie tries to pretend it is an unexpected twist, but in reality they were unable to write the scene correctly.
In short, the ending does not match or even makes sense and is physically, logistically impossible with the rest of the story. To top things off, the final scene is an insult to audience intelligence. I have a very strong suspicision that this movie had a different ending in Spain and Netflix had them record something different for US audience...yes the ending is just that badly written.
