Diane says: “A slow burn of a mystery, a puzzle for the viewer, with Tim Roth and Charlotte Gainsbourg paired excellently. Mexican director Michel Franco opens with some intriguing images of an upscale Acapulco vacation: freshly caught fish gasping; crashing waves seen from the top of a cliff; a family dozing in a row of chaises longues…. Like a Haneke film, very little happens until–kaboom! Try it sometime when you’re ready for the waves to lap at your feet, tug at your sandals, for things to make sense only when you’ve given up and given in. 4 cats.”
