A review by Filipe Manuel Neto
Written by Filipe Manuel Neto on 2023-11-19
**Something abstract and disconnected, not worth seeing more than once in our life.**

This is one of those films that puts such a huge barrier between the audience and the screen that it seems like we're not even being taken into consideration by the producers. Despite the attempts, there is not a single sympathetic or palatable character, the script does not help and the feeling that hangs in the air is of a lack of connection and solidity in the final product that can only be explained if we think about the way the director wanted to be. abstract by force.
